This is the place for you 

Be part of an extraordinary show of natural colors in this time and let the Romanian culture to invade you with the numerous typical houses and the unknown traditions behind them 

Bucharest Village Museum is one of those few places that take us back to the past and inspire us to understand and appreciate it for its true value. Extending on 14 hectares, in one of the capital’s most beautiful and largest parks, Herastrau, the Village Museum is one of the first open-air ethnographic museums in the world.

This must-see museum recreates the past three centuries of the Romanian village, obtaining on an almost surreal experience in urban Bucharest. The Village Museum currently displays 346 house and more than 53,000 objects, unique peasant homes and technical installations, moved from their original location and rebuilt according to the original techniques, including watermills, oil presses, fountains, roadside crucifixes and churches.
