One of Bucharest's finest sights is the Village Museum, situated
within the Herastrau Park alongside a lake. It is a fascinating
outdoor museum with a collection that spans more than 300 buildings
representing the history and design of Romania's rural architecture
including peasant homes, barns, wooden churches and Transylvanian
houses from all regions of the country to recreate a village
setting. Traditionally dressed peasant workers portray life during
the 16th and 17th centuries along with everyday tools and
accessories. Traditional crafts are also for sale around the
site.
