"Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum

Ever imagined yourself walking through a medieval village that’s located right in the middle of a city? Your first stop is at The National Village Museum - a time capsule in the heart of an urban jungle. This open-air reconstruction of the traditional Romanian village is also one of the largest outdoor museums in Europe.“The architecture of a country is, perhaps, the most accurate expression of its history” (M. Cantacuzino). The Village Museum is the perfect place to discover the authentic Romanian village, with folklore elements and buildings originating from all historical provinces and going back all the way to the 17th century.Your private guide will show you the reef-roofed houses of the Danube Delta, the simple and elegant architecture of Moldavia or Wallachia and the exquisitely wooden carved facades of Transylvanian houses. You can admire steep-roofed peasant homes, thatched barns, log cabins, watermills, windmills, wooden churches, oil presses and many more.
