Romanian Peasant Museum

The Romanian Peasant Museum is an ethnographic museum near Piața Victoriei in Bucharest. It houses a large collection of objects from rural life including textiles, ceramics, religious items, and household goods that show how people lived and worked in the countryside over the centuries.

The museum was founded in 1906 and reopened in 1990 after the Communist period. It occupies a Neo-Romanian style building that dates to the early 20th century.

The museum displays the richness of rural life from different parts of Romania through its collections of traditional dress and handcrafted goods. Visitors discover how people in various regions expressed their identity through what they wore and created.

The museum is open to visitors on most days of the week. It is easily accessible on foot and located in a central area of Bucharest.

The basement section displays objects from the Communist era, since the building itself served as a Communist party museum during that period. This collection tells a different story from the same period as the rest of the exhibits.
