The "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum is one of the biggest attractions of Bucharest. The museum was since it`s opening in 1936 and until present, one of the few places what you can visit and go home after with an accurate impression of what Romanian folklore is like. It contains 322 buildings, including 47 homes, household, three wooden churches and 3 windmills. Rested on a side of Herastrau lake the museum looks peaceful and calm, as a foreign piece of world dropped from the sky in the heart of Bucharest present. As it`s founder, Dimitrie Gusti , used to call it: "a sad sound of the bells of Romanian history", this place can only fulfill my heart with joy and pride, each time i go and visit it. And for a brief time I imagine myself walking along with the brave countryman and drinking a pint of wine under a straw roof, and cannot help but wander if the happiness was not much simple back then.
