„My life was dancing, singing, merriness, but also work and work.“ The life story of Františka Černá, the ethnographic collector and founder of the Wallachian ensemble Rusava

Kateřina Nečacká

The study deals with the life of Františka Černá (1875–1967). She was a woman originally from the Wallachian village of Rusava who was dedicated to collecting ethnographic objects. She also founded the Wallachian ensemble Rusava and initiated the creation of the first museum in Rusava. Thanks to her activities, Františka Černá represents an important figure not only within her native village, but also from the perspective of the wider region.
