First opened in 1906, the history of this highly-regarded folk museum was interrupted in the 20th century by the Communist regime, but it reopened in 1990 no more than six weeks after Ceaușescu died.

Description

In those intervening years it had been a museum to communism, and you can still view a small exhibition on collectivization in the basement preserved for posterity.

The remainder is dedicated to the history and culture of the Romanian countryside, summing up 400 years and presenting a jaw-dropping diversity of costume, furniture, religious objects and ceramics.

There’s also an entire wooden house (The House in the House), brought here from Gorj County in the southwest of the country.
