The Village Museum was established in 1936 and contains over 300 wooden houses, windmills, churches etc. from all over the country. If you don't plan to visit Romania's rural areas, and even if you do, you shouldn't miss this museum which is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Many of the buildings are originals which were brought here in pieces and reassembled. The oldest houses date as far back as the 17th century. Behind the project from the start was ethnographer Dimitrie Gusti (1880 - 1955) who wanted the museum to mirror as closely as possible the aspects of the rural life. Because of this the museum is organized as a real village, with clusters of houses being linked by winding paths.

House above was moved here in 1936 from Dragus village at the foot of the Fagaras Mountains. German Saxon architecture, they had settled in Transylvania in the 12th century.
