"If most Americans think of Romania at all, it’s usually from the dark side: Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, Transylvania or, perhaps, the evil Ceaucescu regime, which kept this Eastern European country in the darkness of brutal dictatorship for decades. But a more beautiful picture of this ancient culture emerges at the Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park with its current show, “Between East and West: Folk Art Treasures of Romania.” The exhibit features the impressive collection of Lucia Ionescu Kanchenian, a San Diegan of Romanian heritage, who recently donated many of the treasures she brought back from multiple trips to her homeland."
