The museum offers a unique opportunity to see the antique arquitecture and original houses from all over the country. After the museum, don't miss the visit to the Herastrau park!

this museum sounds so interesting as it is supposed to have sample houses from around the country.I've visited several times and found houses closed due to repairs or just no one manning the door. Many houses resemble others, so it's like, you seen one you've seen 'em all. It's very inexpensive to enter so it's nice to just stroll around with the kids but don't expect anything you'll be talking about again.

old houses, sometimes traditional fairs in the yards of the old houses, traditional costumes, restaurant, and many more other interesting things... it is located in one of the most beautiful parks: Herastrau park - easy access by metro, taxi, busses

I the very crowded Bucharest is lovely to find a place where you can simply enjoy the landscape and relax for a while, away from the city rush and the everyday problems. I worked nearby the museum and always liked to take a walk within the museum, just wondering between the rustic houses and windmills, enjoying the view of the lake and take a breath of "fresh air". If you come to Bucharest you must visit it, just to have a glimpse on the rustic life of the Romanian peasant.

A little disappointing only 2 houses were open to go inside - though the onsite cafe was good. So much more could have been done to make it interesting

A place I always like to visit, no matter the season as it is like a park but more interesting! It is actually near the Herastrau park and you can see the old ancient Romanian houses from different regions very well reproduced. Entrance price ok

The village Museum in Bucharest causing a multiple experience. Discover here the treasures of vernacular architecture, the ways of inhabiting specific Mountains to the Danube Delta, in historical eras that begin before the arrival of the Celts - see the houses from Maramures area - till the last traditional houses of the twentieth century. The lifestyle of these descendants of free Dacians and Roman Empire throughout history is made in the light of numerous artifacts, religious objects or tools of work, specific clothing and adornments. Usual in the alleys of the Museum have held all sorts of happenings with craftsmen who made various objects or traditional artistic and musical bands. In short a must for travelling through Bucharest.

If you visit Herastrau park you should see this area with all the historical residence of Romanian country. It's quite interesting and you can learn a lot o things but for me it wasn't one of the best attractions in Bucharest.

Great place to visit in spring or summer. Really connects with the roumaniam culture and traditions. Open air museum, what could you want more? Not to miss for the foreign tourists

Late afternoon I went to the Village museum. It was a lovely day with good weather. It was very nice to see the different styles of homes in Romania. I can imagine it is a good look into the rest of Romania if you do't have the time to visit all those places in person. All in all a wonderful hour I spnd here.

This museum is set in the old part of the town and demands a bit of travel but at the end if you are really interested in learning about a bit of history, this is totally worth it. The place is an open museums with very many buildings set in traditional styles letting you see the old ways and their nature of living. Being an open museum, you have to be cautious of the day you are visiting the place and to have proper footwear to help you with all the walking. They even have a souvenir shops.

they were celebrating the dragobetele pupa fetele on the day that we visited the village museum. It was fun to watch the celebration after strolling and taking pictures of the village. the display of old houses and churches are all interesting and lovely.

Worth visit even when is rain, but i highly recommend spring or autumn for the beautiful landscape. Old Romanian houses are very well preserved - is a piece of history in the middle of the city
