You can visit the permanent exhibition of the Museum (temporarily closed for reorganizing) by accessing the virtual tour not only on your desktop, which is the recommended variant to visit on the internet, but on your smartphone or tablet as well. The virtual tour is extremely generous, each room being represented through several detailed panoramas accompanied by the bilingual Romanian/English explanations of the audio guide. It is available online at www.360.muzeultaranuluiroman.ro/.
 

The virtual tour of the churches of the Peasant Museum also includes panoramas of the five wooden churches which are in the custody of the Museum, built outside the precinct: Groșii Noi, Julița and Troaș in Arad county, and Lunca Moților and Bejani in Hunedoara county. Two churches have been brought to Bucharest and exhibited: the one from Mintia, in the room Reculegere (Recollectedness), which you can see on the tour of the permanent exhibition, and the one from Bejani, placed in the courtyard. The other four have been restored, watched over and taken care of and are preserved in situ.
