French term

à valeur identitaire

French to English Art/Literary Human Resources
Apprécié tant des habitants de Bucarest, que des étrangers (le musée est visité par environ 350.000 personnes par an), admiré par toutes les grandes personnalités qui ont visité la capitale, le Musée du Village a célébré, en 2011, son 75e anniversaire. En ce moment, il est l'une des plus importantes institutions culturelles en Roumanie, qui abrite un trésor original et précieux de monuments et d'objets à valeur identitaire pour les Roumains, et qui organise, en parallèle, des programmes éducatifs dédiés aux enfants, à la jeune génération et aux adultes, y compris les personnes âgées.

@ ormiston Yes, you are correct; they do more than reflect their national identity; see "More info" added to my Answer.
ormiston Apr 9, 2012:
small point? these artifacts are of (emblematic) value 'POUR' les Roumains, they do more than just reflect their national identity, no?
