Bukovinian Village Museum in Suceava, Open-air museum in Suceava, Romania.
The Bukovinian Village Museum is an open-air museum in Suceava with traditional wooden houses, agricultural buildings, and workshops moved from different parts of the Bukovina region. The collection includes churches, peasant homes, craft workshops, a mill, and a traditional tavern that together form a complete village setting.
The museum was established to preserve and document rural life in the Bukovina region with buildings from different periods. The Vama church from 1783 is the oldest surviving structure, accompanied by houses dating from the late 18th and 19th centuries.
The museum displays rooms dedicated to life transitions, including Casa Straja with baptism objects and Casa Volovat with burial traditions. These houses show how people in the Bukovina region marked important moments in their lives.
The museum sits next to Suceava Fortress and is easily reached, with tours that move through authentic buildings and show traditional craft techniques. Wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore all the structures and watch craftspeople at work.
The museum functions partly as a living village, with people practicing traditional crafts and keeping the spaces active and inhabited. This living history sets it apart from typical museums where you only view objects behind glass.
