Art Exhibitions, Experiences

Picnics, exhibitions, cinema, and concerts at the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant

WEEKEND SESSIONS is an independent cultural program celebrating local artists, iconic public spaces, and meaningful socializing. It started in 2021 at the Botanical Garden of the University of Bucharest, where it transformed a picnic space into an occasion for memorable experiences and meetings with acoustic jazz sessions, classical music, indie pop from independent artists, tastings from local entrepreneurs, film screenings in nature, moments of poetry, discussions with therapists, mindfulness and yoga sessions, creative workshops for children.

The weekend of August 5-6, the Weekend Sessions event will occur at the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant.
