It was established out of the desire of the highlander colonists settled in this locality in the spring of the year 1924. The Museum of the Highlanders in the locality of Scărişoara, was reorganized in 1994. The rich diverse ethnographic collection of this museum comprises over 800 artefacts brought by the highlanders from their place of origin, the Apuseni Mountains, and is representative for the material and spiritual creation they developed over the years. The house sheltering the ethnographic museum, built by the villagers during the '40s of the last century, comprises six museum halls, organized as follows: Hall 1 - "Homestead interior"; Hall 2 - "Domestic texti...le industry"; Hall 3 - "Pottery"; Hall 4 - "Peasant trades"; Hall 5 - "Workshops".
