The Romanian Peasant Museum is the perfect attraction for people who want to fully immerse themselves in the country’s long history. For a more immersive experience, travelers may consider adding the museum to a customized private Bucharest tour itinerary. Museum admission discounts are available for retirees, students, groups, and guests with limited mobility. In addition, an on-site gift store offers replicas of many of the museum’s artifacts.
Guided museum tours are offered in English, French, and Spanish and must be booked in advance by phone.
The museum hosts events and workshops, including options for children. Check the museum website in advance to see what is offered during your visit.
The Romanian Peasant Museum is wheelchair-accessible and disabled guests receive discounted admission.
The museum can easily be reached by the M1 and M2 metro lines stopping at Piata Vicoriei Station. Buses 205, 381, and N113, and the Bucharest City Tour, stop just outside the museum at Muzeul Taranului. It is a 1.2-mile (2-kilometer) walk from the Romanian Athenaeum, and a 2-mile (3.3-kilometer) walk from Old Town.
The Romanian Peasant Museum is open from morning to early evening, Tuesday to Sunday, and (like many Bucharest museums) closed on Monday. Visiting first thing on weekdays is the best way to avoid crowds. The last admission to the museum is two hours before closing, so arrive earlier to avoid feeling rushed.
The Museum of Natural History, the National Geology Museum, Kiseleff Park, and a Dinosaur theme park are all near the Romanian Peasant Museum. So, visitors to Bucharest can easily spend an entire day in the area without stressing over complicated directions and an overwhelming itinerary.
