Cornel Irimie Collection at ASTRA Museum Sibiu

Poster of the ASTRA Museum's Exhibition on Ethnographic Collections reflecting the Marginimea Sibiului Area, July-August 2013

The Cornel Irimie Collection illustrates how ethnographers managed to negotiate the autonomy of their research activity with the communist state institutions and to conduct ethnographic research in contradiction with some of the official cultural policies. The collection includes more than 300 files of personal documents, student notes, field research notes and reports, drafts of academic works, acquisition reports, and exhibition drafts.
