Former headquarters of the Ethnography Museum

The building, located on str. 9 Mai, no. 4, entered in the List of Historical Monuments (code TL-II-m-B -05972), was built around 1911, in the neo-Romanian style. Its owner was Alexandru Calafeteanu, a professor from Tulcea, who owned it until 1947. Between 1958 and 2005, it performed several public functions: the House of Pioneers, a space managed by the Tulcea "Danube Delta" Museum, originally intended for the collection of fine art and later that of folk art and ethnography. The building was retroceded in 2005 to the descendants of Alexandru Calafeteanu, and is currently a private residence.
