The Romanian Peasant Museum’s history starts in 1906.  It was moved to its current location which is a beautiful neo Romanian building, in 1912. During the communist period it was actually a museum dedicated to the Communist Party and Nicolae Ceauşescu.

In the 1990s it became the National Romanian Peasant Museum. Its purpose was to study and present the life of a Romanian village and peasant.

The extremely rich collections include various items such as ceramics, fabrics, wood items and traditional Romanian costumes, and even religious artifacts, all presented in an attractive manner.

The museum has multiple uses so you will have the opportunity to participate in various cultural activities like concerts, theater festivals, book launches, movies, or traditional fairs, temporary exhibitions and antique fairs.
