The Wooden Spoons Museum or Ion Țugui Spoon Museum is a museum in Câmpulung Moldovenesc, in the Suceava County, Romania. It is located in the house where the history professor Ion Țugui lived, at no. 1 in Gh. Popovici Street. Those who now take care of the museum are his descendants, the Mateescu family. The museum houses wooden spoons which were studied and cataloged by Țugui from many regions of Romania but also from other parts of the world. About 10 spoons are placed on each support, which are labeled with their age, their place of origin and, if known, their owner. Some of the foreign spoons come from countries such as Japan, Madagascar, Pakistan, Tanzania, the United States and several others. Many of them were donated by foreign tourists or exchanged for Romanian spoons with Țugui. The museum also has ladles, a collection of more than 500 erasers, ceramic objects and coins.
