The Village Museum formally National Museum of the Village "Dimitrie Gusti" (Muzeul Național al
Satului "Dimitrie Gusti" in Romanian) is an open-air ethnographic museum located in the King Michael I
Park (Bucharest, Romania), showcasing traditional Romanian village life. The museum extends to over
100,000 m2, and contains 272 authentic peasant farms and houses from all over Romania.

The village was a creation of the folklorist and sociologist Dimitrie Gusti. The location plans were
executed by the writer, playwright, director Victor Ion Popa and set designer Henri H. Stahl. The
necessary financial funds were provided by the Royal Cultural Foundation and in the presence of King
Carol II of Romania the museum was inaugurated on May 10, 1936.
