The Village Museum in Bucharest, Romania

The Village Museum  is an open-air museum in Bucharest, with around 50 cottages, farmsteads, churches, water-mills, workshops, and roadside crosses from all over the country.

Founded by royal decree in 1936, this fascinating outdoor museum, the largest in Europe, covers some 30 acres on the shores of Lake Herastrau in Herestrau Park. It represents the history and design of Romania’s rural architecture.

All is very well preserved and you have a chance even to look inside interior to catch a glimpse of how Romanian families lived.

Steep-roofed peasant homes, thatched barns, log cabins, churches and watermills from all regions of the country were carefully taken apart, shipped to the museum and rebuilt in order to recreate the village setting.

This conic hat is a seasonal shelter considered by specialists to be one of the first types of homes made by man on the earth surface.
