Muzeul Taranului Roman (Romanian Peasant Museum), Romania

Displayed:   times.

This eclectic collection of peasant relics won 1996's European Museum of the Year award - and it is easy to see why. The concoction of religious and traditional crafts is so creatively displayed that the exhibition is a work of art in itself. Handmade rugs, pottery, tools and painted eggs rub shoulders with rosaries and icons. Upstairs a group of mannequins in peasant costumes look like they are about to wake up at any moment and march across the room. More info on: bucharest.airporthotelguide.com
