How much does it cost for kids?

There's no separate fair ticket: you pay regular museum entry. That's 40 lei for adults, 20 lei for retirees and 10 lei for pupils and students.

When is the next fair?

The museum hasn't announced the next dates yet. The 2026 fair ran Friday to Sunday, April 3 to 5, from 9am to 7pm.

The craft stalls line the museum's outdoor alleys, so dress for April weather. The religious art and restoration exhibition opened on the Sunday afternoon in the Sala H. H. Stahl.

About

Each spring the Village Museum, an open-air park of village houses, fills its alleys with folk craftspeople for Florii, the Orthodox Palm Sunday. Kids can watch eggs being painted by hand and Lazarus pies being made, browse the craft stalls, and catch Romanian folk ensembles on the Dumitra stage. It works best as a come-and-go visit: wander at your own pace and stop wherever something catches a kid's eye.

Museum ticket: adults 40 lei
