A major decision was made by the Veritas Board in the fall to rent out the House on the Rock. Mark Tudose, who owns and operates two craft shops in the citadel (one in the basement of the House on the Rock) proposed that he turn the upper three stories of the building into The Spoon Museum. Mark learned the art of carving wooden spoons from his grandfather and has begun collecting carved wooden spoons from around the world. He has many creative ideas on how to present these, and make this museum a “don’t miss” location for tourists in Sighisoara. The plan will be delayed because of the pandemic, but we anticipate that a year from now it will be open to the public. This decision impacted the educational programs of Veritas, which since the purchase of House on the Rock, have been held in that building. Currently that includes the teen programs: It Takes Courage, Ceai and Chat and English camps. Those programs will take place in the Veritas Family Center in the fall. The International Cafe will continue to operate on the first floor.
