Romanian Village Museum in Bucharest
This museum compound on a lake in Bucharest started in the 1930s as a sociological project with peasants living here and being on view all the time. It was around the same time as the Williamsburg, VA project of John D. Rockefeller. The museum barely survived WWII and the Communist era, but it seems to be thriving today. They brought traditional ethnic houses and crafts from various regions of Romania. Given how fast the traditional aspects of rural Romania are disappearing now, it will be even more of a blessing in the future.
