Muzeul Satului din România este așezat pe Lacul Herăstrău, în inima capitalei națiunii, care este Bucureștiul.

Muzeul conservă un cătun autentic românesc, umplut cu o veritabilă comoară de obiecte și monumente datând din anii secolelor XVII spre XX.

Muzeul Satului prezintă, de asemenea, modele ale diverselor stiluri de construcții specifice unor regiuni din întreaga țară.

Originile muzeului în aer liber datează din 1867, când arheologul, scriitorul și politicianul Alexandru Odobescu a sugerat să se formeze o expoziție a arhitecturii vernaculare, într-un pavilion din cadrul Expoziției de la Paris.

În anii care au urmat, savantul Alexandru Tzigara Samurcaș a expus ideea aducerii câtorva case, din toate zonele principale ale României.

Ideea lui a prins viață în 1909, când prima casă țărănească a fost transportată din județul Gorj la Muzeul Etnografic, de Artă Națională, Artă Decorativă și Artă Industrială din București.

Totuși, a durat încă mulți ani până când Muzeul Satului a căpătat contur și a fost populat cu mai multe case transportate din diverse părți ale României.

Dimitrie Gusti, cel care a fondat Școala Sociologică din București, a petrecut peste 10 ani în cercetări intense, muncă de teren și experimente pentru a obține viziunea stabilită de Odobescu, în urmă cu mulți ani.

După toți acei ani de cercetare și de căutare a unor case potrivite pentru a fi expuse, Fundația Prinţul de Wales a finanțat amenajarea Muzeul Satului, care a durat doar două luni pentru a fi finalizat.

Echipele de pe teren au cumpărat case și mobilier reprezentative pentru epocile istorice și regiunile satelor pe care le-au cercetat.

Casele au fost atunci mutate la muzeu, unde au fost reconstruite.

Romania's Village Museum sits on Lake Herastrau in the heart of the nation's capital city of Bucharest.

The museum preserves an authentic Romanian hamlet that's filled with a veritable treasure trove of objects and monuments dating from between the seventeenth through the twentieth century.

The Village Museum also presents paradigms of various construction styles from regions throughout Romania.

The open air museum's origins date back to 1867 when archeologist, author, and politician Alexandru Odobescu suggested that they put together an exhibit about vernacular architecture in a pavilion at the Paris Expo.

In the following years, cultural savant Alexandru Samurcas espoused the idea of bringing several houses from all the principal areas of Romania.

His idea came to fruition in 1909 when the very first peasant home was transported from Gorj County to the National Ethnographic, Industrial, Decorative and Folk Art Museum in Bucharest.

However, it took many more years before the Village Museum came into being and was populated by multiple homes that had been conveyed from various parts of Romania.

Dimitrie Gusti, who founded the Sociological School of Bucharest, spent more than ten years in intense research, field work, and experiments to accomplish the vision set forth by Odobescu so many years before.

After all the years of research and looking for suitable houses to include, the Royal Prince Charles Foundation financed the setup of the Village Museum, which only took about two months to complete.

Field teams acquired houses and furnishings that were representative of their respective historical eras and regions from the villages they researched.

The houses were then moved to the museum site where they were reconstructed.
