About The Village and Folk Art Museum:
The sayings" Home, sweet home" and "My home is my castle" are well illustrated by the Romanian peasant homes that you can see at The Village and Folk Art Museum.
When we visited it the guide explained to us that at first the peasants had come to Bucharest and lived in their own homes inside the museum.
Everything in this open-air museum is original. The peasant homes and all the things in them were brought piece by piece from all the regions of Romania. The houses in Dobrogea and the Danube Delta are not high and have thatched roofs. Those in Transylvania are quite tall and made of wood. Their verandahs are full of flowers and climbing plants.
When you go into the houses you can admire the Romanian traditional folk costumes, the old pieces of furniture and the hand-made carpets on the walls and floors.
We strongly recommend that you visit this wonderful museum.
