The Bucharest Village Museum is a marvel! It’s an open-air ethnographic museum situated on 35 acres along the shores of Herăstrău Lake. The museum “recreates three centuries of the Romanian village” in a Bucharest green space! Displays include 346 houses and over 53,000 objects, including peasant homes and technical installations. Households from several Romanian historic regions – Transylvania, Dobrogea, Oltenia, and Moldavia – are represented.

A lot of old houses from Romania, in a very nice area: Herastrau Park and Lake. Very interesting to visit and find more about Romanian History. The staff is very kind and helpful.

This is an open museum inside the Park that shows a traditional Romanian village. Inside it you can walk around typical houses, some of them restored, and understand how and where people used to live some decades ago. It is something you need to see if you visit Bucharest for the first time, very nice and characteristic for only few euros.

The Village Museum in Bucharest, Romania, is a must-see for anyone who wants to find out more
about the traditional way of life in historic Romania. The exhibition currently running focuses on The
Art of Upper Embroidery in Women’s Traditional Shirts. The exhibition is a display of exquisite yarn
art. The display of traditional Romanian houses is a feast for the eyes and offers some serious food
for thought, as the architecture and building techniques employed take into consideration the
specifics of different environments, climates and natural oddities that could have had an impact on
the inhabitants.
The visit at the museum was enriching for me, as it allowed me to see “in real life” and explore
different types of dwelling in traditional Romania, different styles of dressing and, ultimately, gave
me an insight into the culture of my ancestors.
I would definitely recommend the experience to both foreigners who want to learn more about
Romanian, and to people who have a cultural Romanian heritage and who would like to deepen
their knowledge of it, like myself.

The village museum is home to many original historic rural homes from the Romanian countryside. Most were disassembled in their original location, carried to Bucharest and then reassembled in their current location with the goal of recreating a village atmosphere in the new open-air museum. And it really worked - you will get to see houses from all of Romania's regions in this museum and you really shouldn't miss it.

The museum occupies a fairly large area, on one side of Herastrau Park. An interesting museum, there are dozens (maybe over 100) of old houses ( and not only: there are also churches, windmills, watermills, etc) from various parts of the country. Unfortunately, very few of them can be visited indoor.

If you want to take a stroll back in time this is the place to be. It's a very peaceful setting where you can learn about Romania, seeing houses from a lot of different areas, with very distinctive arhitectural styles. It's definitely worth the visit.

May I know is the Bucharest Muzeul National is almost the same as Astra Open Museum in Sibiu? Thank you!

No they are not really the same at all. One is in a large building in the city and the other is an open air museum of buildings to the north of the city. I would suggest that you use either Trip Adviser or a your browser to research each one for the details. best wishes, Rodney

I walked or took Uber everywhere. If you use the yellow cabs only do so by getting hotels or restaurants to book for you and get an idea of fare before you go. You didn’t say which hotel you will be at. Mr Tripp, the travel agent on Victory Avenue, is good for free maps and other information.

Heh Peekayy, we just did Uber everywhere, incredibly cheap, convenient, no worries with unscrupulous drivers, it's what Romanians do if they can afford. Navigating busses and metro may sound fine before you get there, however we gave up after the first attempt. On balance convenience and cost wise Uber came tops every time.

Noi ci siamo arrivati in bus da piata romana, il bus è molto economico ( magari consulta google maps che ti dice quale bus prendere e quale è la fermata piu vicina alla tua posizione). Ma ti consiglio uber che è altrettanto economico e sicuramente piu veloce dato che non fa fermate intermedie. In ogni caso tieni presente che la città è molto trafficata.
Il museo si trovo nel parco herăstrău che è molto grande ma che vale la pena vedere ...
uno dei due ingressi del museo si trova nelle immediate adiacenze dell hard rock , noi abbiamo preso come riferimento l indirizzo dell hard rock che è piu visibile. ( Șoseaua Pavel Dimitrievici Kiseleff 32, București 011343, Romania)
Abbiamo visitato il museo in dicembre e nonostante molte zone erano chiuse, dato il basso costo ( due ingressi studenti a 8 leu) vale comunque la pena fermarsi per una passeggiata ( soprattutto se avete bambini ci sono delle aree giochi all interno e il percorso da fare è come una passeggiata in un piccolo villaggio quindi sicuro non si annoieranno).
