Muzeul țăranului

The Muzeul Național al Țăranului Român in Bucharest is devoted to Romania's folk art and houses an extensive collection of textiles, costumes, icons, and ceramics. The building on Kiseleff Road, erected on the grounds of the former state mint, combines traditional Romanian architectural elements with modern presentation. Here you can see more than a hundred thousand objects from peasant daily life, including the famous "house within a house" from the village of Ceauru, which is staged in a deliberately non-naturalistic form. As a leading folk art museum in Europe, it was named European Museum of the Year in 1996 and offers a deep insight into the country's cultural history.
