The ASTRA Museum is one of the largest open-air ethnographic museums in Europe, spread across a vast forested park on the edge of Sibiu. A ticketed visit lets visitors wander among hundreds of traditional houses, watermills, workshops and churches brought from villages across Romania and lovingly reconstructed, offering a vivid picture of rural life and folk craft over the centuries. With demonstrations, animals and a lake amid beautiful woodland, it is a fascinating and delightful place to explore, and one of the most rewarding and immersive cultural attractions in the region.
