Description

Here’s a visitor’s guide for the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant (Muzeul Naţional al Ţăranului Român, MNŢR) in Bucharest: The museum is located at 3 Şoseaua Kiseleff, Sector 1, Bucharest, right across from Piaţa Victoriei. It is housed in a heritage building built in Neo‑Romanian style, completed in 1941, with design elements inspired by Brâncoveanu/monastic architecture. It holds a large and rich collection of folk‑art and traditional rural life objects: folk costumes, ceramics, painted eggs, icons, interior fabrics, furniture, agricultural tools, wooden churches relocated from rural regions, and lots more. It also functions as a cultural centre, with temporary exhibitions, artisan fairs, cinema screenings, workshops, a café and a museum shop.

Opening hours are Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM; the museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Last entry is generally one hour before closing. The permanent exhibition had been closed for renovation but reopened on April 25, 2025, along with the rest of their displays. Ticket prices vary: full‑adult tickets are around 12–16 lei; there are reduced rates (for students under 30 with “Euro 26” cards, pensioners, and visitors with mild or moderate disability) about 4 lei. Children and students pay a smaller rate. On special days or for certain groups there may also be free entry.

Some practical tips & restrictions: plan for about 1.5‑2 hours to see the museum well. Photography for private use is generally allowed (without flash), but for professional/commercial purposes special permission and fees may apply. The building has a café and a shop with crafts; these are nice spots to relax. Because the permanent exhibition was closed until recently, checking whether it’s fully open is a good idea. Use public transport to reach it: the museum is close to Piaţa Victoriei metro station, and several bus/tram lines serve that area. Weekday mornings tend to be quietest, and avoid late afternoons or weekends if you prefer a less crowded experience.
