Why go
This museum-focused day suits wet or cold weather and keeps the emphasis on collections rather than exposed monuments. Begin at the National Museum of Art of Romania, where the former royal setting and Romanian galleries deserve the longest visit. Continue north along Calea Victoriei to the Museum of Art Collections for a more intimate group of collector-built displays. Finish at the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant, whose objects and installations shift the story from court culture to village life. The three substantial museums can fill a day, so treat the middle stop as optional if you prefer slow gallery viewing.
