It's a collection of buildings from various ages that show how the Romanians lived. A lot of the interiors are very similar, but the exteriors are interesting enough. There are arts and crafts for sale, all handmade, so it's a nice way to support the locals. I did see a lot of kids and they didn't looked bored so it... More

It is situated in Herestrau Park. It illustrates the village life from different regions of the country, with real houses (they were moved here from their original place of building) and different objects inside and outside the house, reflecting the way of living of Romanian peasants and their daily activities. Discounts on tickets for students.

Yet the old traditional tools and costumes as well as the whole old wooden church in the museum's backyard were well put and interesting.

This is a great starting point for a trip into Romania's past. Gathering houses from all over the country it's a interesting mozaic of customs and ways of life. Best if visited in the summer (when the interiors of the houses can be admired). If possible avoid the weekends since it gets crowded sometimes. The audio-guide is quite expensive but... More

This is a lovely place to take a wander and look at the cute houses. It's not the most advanced museum in the world, but it's interesting to imagine the academics who built this place in the 1930s, bringing local materials from around Romania to show people who the countryside was. And as so much of this style of housing... More

This is a real village. They reassembled it to be just as it was way back. I would love to spend a whole day there. I couldn't belive the wooden Ferris wheel. Met a few cute kittys running around.

This is similar to the Open Air Museum in Tallinn, and a very pleasant experience. Make sure you go early in the morning when it is not too hot, because there is a fair amount of walking, and the paths are not shaded. Also, the paths are all fully paved that take away from the true village experience. After a... More

I have visited similar historic villages in America, Germany and France, but this was the best. Also my favorite stop in Bucharest! Because the facility is old, the trees are mature and lovely, the vendors give the area the atmosphere of a market and the historic buildings are cared for very well. Bravo!
