This is a beautiful outdoor museum. It is essentially a collection of buildings brought to the site from throughout Romania with the goal of educating the park's visitors about architecture and history of the country.

Great way to embrace the diversity of romanian homes. Large, beautiful grounds that are wonderful for a long walk. I would suggest planning this visit depending on the weather. They have horse drawn carriages available if you have a hard time walking (not for necessarily for low budget travlers) long distances. I wouldn't necessarily choose the carriage ride as a... More

From the traditional Transylvanian gates in massive wood with patterns several centuries old if not more to the astonishing houses and devices, some going back to primitive times, this museum will make you dream. It is a great site for families and for people of all ages. Check out the retired people volunteering at the museum and working to clean... More

This is the best collection of village houses in Romania, combined with some mills and other village specific buildings and tools. They have helpful guides. In Winter the scenery is white perfection. In Summer it's wonderful for a picnic.

The best of its kind in Romania and better than others I've seen, few countries actually have similar ones! You would need a guide to learn about the architecture, which people were living there and stories behind it, otherwise it is just a nice to see and take pictures of!
