The collection was established by the priest Zosim Oancea from Sibiel, who asked the villagers to donate glass icons for the church collection, by that initiative saving remarkable pieces. The museum is located in two buildings, one new, both in the church yard of the village. The museum holds a rich collection of glass paintings (700 icons on glass), wooden paintings, bottom drawers, benches, corner cupboards, furniture, pottery, Romanian rare books, documents, and official papers.
