The National Village Museum in Bucharest contains over 350 monuments and 55,000 exhibits from rural areas across Romania that have been reconstructed to give visitors a sense of wandering through an old Romanian village. Houses, churches, windmills, and other structures from different regions of the country transport visitors out of the city into a forgotten village setting. While not spectacular, a guided tour could enhance the experience by providing more context about the traditions and roles represented in the artifacts and architecture on display. Overall, the museum offers an ethnographic trip through Romania's rural history and culture in a single day.

If you are tired of city life, for a few hours you can go to the Dimitrie Gusti Village Museum in Bucharest on a slow visit, where
you can enjoy greenery, paths, windmills and unique houses. Practically, you have the opportunity to make an ethnographic trip
throughout Romania in less than a day.
The National Village Museum was opened in 1936 at the idea of sociologist Dimitrie Gusti, designed by Henri Stahl and Victor
Ion Popa. Later, it was modernized in 1948 by Gheorghe Focsa. It is an open-air museum, quite large, with peasant homes and
households brought from all over the country and fitted to reconstitute the Romanian rural life. There are about 350 monuments
and 55,000 exhibits that give the atmosphere of old villages, including churches, windmills, boats and sheds. At each dwelling or
complex you will find a panel with information about the area of origin and features.
In some places you have the impression that you have left Bucharest and you are somewhere in a forgotten village by the
courtyards with flowers and green grass.
It is not a spectacular Museum, I think a walk here would be more interesting with a guide that tells more about houses and
customs, about the role of each instrument in the household and revive the forgotten traditions. But even without a guide, the
ancient air is present and you will surely marvel at the ingenuity of some mechanisms or structures.
Banks and trash cans are perfectly integrated into the atmosphere, and if you want to take a walk break and retreat
somewhere in the shadows with a book, you have plenty of state-of-the-art facilities.
