Romulus Vuia Ethnographic Park
Parcul Etnografic Național „Romulus Vuia”
Romania's first open-air folk museum, on the slopes of Hoia Hill, gathering wooden houses, workshops and wooden churches moved here from across Transylvania.
Established in 1929, this was Romania's first open-air ethnographic museum. Covering about 75 hectares, it houses dozens of farmhouses, mills, oil presses, pottery and blacksmith workshops collected from different regions of Transylvania, along with several 18th-century wooden churches, all moved and rebuilt on site. The interiors retain their original furniture and everyday objects. In summer, the park hosts folk festivals and craft demonstrations. Admission costs about 10–15 lei and the park is closed on Mondays. It lies on Hoia Hill, about 3 km northwest of the city centre, adjoining Hoia-Baciu Forest, and can be reached by bus or taxi.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun about 10:00–18:00 (shorter in winter)
