Village Museum in Bucharest
#bucketlistreboot
“Dimitrie Gusti” National Village Museum is another place to visit in Bucharest. Whilst you’re there, another great venue to see is the Peasant Museum which offers a good perspective of early Romanian country side life and various house style differences across Romania. A must is an ice-cream during your hot summer visit!
So to wrap it up, we believe Bucharest definitely should warrant a flight ticket to come and see this Eastern European Little Paris. Its modern architecture combined with French architecture as well as neo communist style buildings make Bucharest a city for anyone to put on their travel map.

Village Museum: Frozen History
Recently, we visited the Village Museum located in Herastrau Park, Bucharest, Romania.
It is an open-air museum introducing Romanian rural architectural art, folk art, and peasant customs, like a large garden.
We wandered among the 40 courtyards scattered in the museum, lingering in 66 rural buildings - these buildings include houses, churches, and workshops, all of which are relics from the 1930s rural areas of Romania.
After the visit, the historical buildings that froze the rural scenery of Romania in the 1930s felt slightly better than the rural buildings of the "Republic of China" during the same period!
