About us:
The Romanian Folk Art Museum is a non-profit organization established in 1983 in Chicago. For
the last 7 years it has had an exhibit space and gallery in center city Philadelphia. It also has a
branch in Princeton (the depositary of a printed and visual materials library, archives, and the
Perciali's artifacts folkloric collection, the 2nd largest European one in the U.S.. including
thousands pieces of costumes, textiles, rugs, furniture, pottery, decorative arts, icons-paintings on
glass, painted eggs, etc. ) .
An office and an exhibit was opened in Brasov-Romania in 2004. Trips will be arranged for 5/2006
The museum's main founder, Rodica Perciali, a former teacher, has been volunteering for 23
years. With the help of her family and hundreds of Americans, Romanian-Americans and
Romanians, she has organized over 120 public itinerant exhibits and educational programs and
activities in the U.S. and in Romania. These include large and small artifacts exhibits,
participations in festivals and fairs, a traveling photographic exhibit of the history of the Romanian
immigration, audio visual lectures, round tables in universities, public libraries, and churches, and,
since 1989, press conferences and presentations in Romania. The museum has received awards
and public grants and its events were covered by dozens of American and Romanian newspapers
and TV stations such as NBC, ABC, CNN, WGN, TV-Romania, and local stations. One of the most
important programs maintained by the museum for the last ten years is a Program to Promote
Romanian Artisans. The Romanian-American League, also a non-profit organization, was
established in 1996 to carry on bridge up programs for media, civic participation (initiated in 1991
for the Civic Alliance and CDR) and promoting the Romanian economy. New programs of
Internship and Artist-in-residence were added starting with 2003
