Dimitrie Gusti National Village Museum - Bucharest

Founded by Royal Decree in 1936, and covering some 15 hectares on the shores of Lake Herastrau, the Village Museums is one of the greatest outdoor museums in the Balkans.

There are more than 60 original houses, farmsteads, windmills, watermills and churches from all of Romania’s historic regions: Transylvania, Oltenia, Dobrogea and Moldavia. Every exhibit has a plaque showing exactly where in Romania it was brought from.

Desi este un paradox, Muzeul National al Satului (numit și Dimitrie Gusti) nu se gaseste în mediu rural ci in cel mai mare oras din Romania, capitala tarii – București.

Patrimoniul bogat al acestui obiectiv turistic este alcătuit din construcții tradiționale din toate zonele țării. Veti gasi aici lăcașe de cult, locuințe și anexe, instalații de tehnică populară și meșteșugărească (mori de vânt, mori de apă…) și obiecte decorative pentru toate construcțiile menționate mai sus.

A fost deschis la 10 mai 1936, in prezenta Regelui Carol al II-lea. Muzeul redă foarte bine viața taranului roman, diversitatea arhitecturii lemnului, originalitatea prelucrării acestui material, inventivitatea țăranului român și inițiativa de a împodobi cu migală orice lucru.

City in black

To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colors and shapes,
To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness
Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.
To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.
To be a smile on the face of a woman
And shine in her memory
As a moment saved without planning.
