The National Museum of the Romanian Peasant is part of the European family of Museums of Arts and Popular Traditions. It is a national museum under the authority of the Ministry of Culture. The owner of particularly rich collections of objects, housed in a historical monument building, in neo-Romanian style, practices a very special museography, which in 1996 earned it the honor of being awarded the EMYA trophy – European Museum of the Year Award. The original style of exhibition is also continued in the museum's publications, in actions such as the Missionary Museum, the Village School or in events such as openings, conferences, book launches, creativity workshops, concerts, fairs, but also film screenings.
