In 1969, the museum in the town of Slatina was enriched with a new section of folk art that was added to the history section created in 1952 and constantly developed since then.
At its foundation, the ethnography department had a heritage of 1,480 objects, a heritage that has been steadily enriched, reaching 33 years since its inception, to a total of 8,933 objects.
This ethnographic heritage reflects popular creation from almost all villages and communes in Olt County, a territory where three ethnographic areas meet: Olt, Romanati and Boian Plain.
Monastic tourism in Olt County is represented by well-preserved buildings, of which we mention:
The Clocociov Monastery dedicated to the Archangels Michael and Gavriil is one of the oldest monastic units in Romania. Its beginnings, without being recorded in the documents at that time, were lost with the passage of time.
Some of the found documents certify the founder of the monastery Prince Mihai Viteazul.
The old church building began in 1645 and lasted a few months.
The painting that can be admired today in the monastery is new and was made in 1937 by the painter Nicolae Pană. From the old painting, the votive painting, a remarkable portrait of the founders and their immediate descendants, is still preserved in the narthex.
Inside the building was also arranged a museum with an important collection of old Romanian art, including icons, decorative art pieces (especially silverware, embroidery, fabrics and wooden sculptures) and wooden engraved books in the most popular printers from the country of famous Romanian artists.
The founder of the Strehareţ hermitage was Bishop Seraphim the First of Buzau and from 1668 Bishop of Râmnic.
The construction of the hermitage began in 1665, and on August 4, 1668, Serafim consecrated the founding of the Metropolitan Church of Bucharest, where he was the pastor of Metropolitan Theodosius.After 1865, the Streharets hermitage led a quiet life without major events.
The frescoes of the hermitage are important through the Neo-Byzantine painting style and Cyrillic writing, which is preserved on the frontispieces of the wall icons. Many of the hermitage icons are living documents, with time stamp, icons that, despite the weather, are still beautiful and well preserved.
In 1979, the old tower of the bell was demolished and a new bell tower was built above the portal at the entrance to the monastery.
