The Village Museum (Muzeul Satului)

The Village Museum, is located in Bucharest,Romania. Despite his lack of celebrity, it's one of the biggest and the oldest outdoors museum in Europe.
The creation of the National Village Museum was a goal for an intensive and sustained research coordinated by Dimitrie Gusti .
Between 1936-1940,the museum had a surface of 6.5 ha, and 33 of the sites were authentic,transferred from different  villages located all over the country.
The surface tends to reproduce the map of Romania, by grouping the monuments of architecture and popular technique on the criterion of geographical proximity of villages of origin, in areas representing major historical provinces of the country. The museum has today over 100,000 m2, and contains 272 authentic peasant farms and houses from all over Romania.
If you ever visit Bucharest, this museum should be on your map. It's an excellent location for taking photographs, make some sketches or just walking on the Herastrau lake shore while finding out something more about the traditional architecture.
