Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum

The Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum, in Bucharest, Romania, was established in 1936 and "contains 272 authentic peasant farms and houses from all over Romania." (from their Wikipedia page)

The houses have been originally built as far back as 1765. Many of the houses could not be entered, so we don't have many interior pictures. While the houses were taken from all over Romania, we observed many of the houses seem to come from the Transylvania region.

It was good to get this perspective of Romania tradition and walk through this open air museum on a nice fall day. Bucharest had a "Peasant Museum", but it was closed for extensive renovations. That was disappointing, but the village museum was a great consolation prize.Read more
