Muzeul Maramuresan

Muzeul Maramuresan is an international non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov with an active registration that extends through January 3, 2026. Based in Romania, the organization appears to be a cultural heritage museum focused on preserving local history, particularly in the Maramures region. The museum specializes in cultural preservation projects, particularly those involving historical sites, memorials, and educational initiatives that promote cultural understanding, democracy, and minority inclusion.

The museum has received multiple federal grant awards from U.S. civilian agencies, specifically the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. These grants have supported significant cultural preservation and educational projects, including the restoration of the wooden church in the Maramures Museum, conservation of the 19th-century Elie Wiesel Memorial House in Sighetu Marmatiei, and an national essay contest promoting human rights and democratic values. The grants, ranging from project-based cultural preservation efforts to educational initiatives, demonstrate the organization's commitment to maintaining historical sites, promoting cultural understanding, and engaging youth in discussions about human rights and democratic principles. The federal grant awards, totaling three identified projects between 2021 and 2024, highlight the museum's ongoing work in cultural heritage preservation and educational programming.
