The National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine is an architectural and landscape complex of all historical and ethnographic regions of Ukraine: Polissya, Slobozhanshchyna and Poltava, Carpathians, Dnieper, Podillia and the South. The open-air museum, founded on February 6, 1969, is located on the southern outskirts of Kyiv - the historical land that once belonged to the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. It received its first visitors in 1976.
Today, about 300 monuments of folk construction of the 16th-20th centuries are located on the territory of the open-air museum. Traditional residential and economic complexes include huts, barns, wells and other attributes of an ancient Ukrainian village. The oldest architectural exhibit is a hut from the village of Samara, Volyn region (1587).
The museum's collections include about 100 thousand of the most diverse exhibits: folk clothing, fabrics, furniture, tools, products of potters, coopers, carpenters, joiners, blacksmiths, folk painting and drawing, musical instruments, children's toys, etc.
Skansen constantly cares about the revival and development of folk crafts, promotes the restoration of ancient traditions. Since 1978, seasonal ethnographic fairs have been held here, where folk craftsmen from all over Ukraine come to share their experience, meet new friends, and teach visitors ancient crafts.
The museum is actively engaged in the development of the spiritual culture of Ukrainians. It has become traditional to hold folk holidays: from Christmas and Kolodiy, to Andriy and meeting with St. Nicholas. Each event does not pass without interesting rituals and customs. The village council operates a "Creative Workshop", where anyone can learn to make folk art products: from vytynanki to spoons.
Each visitor can walk along the museum's paths on their own, or accompanied by a qualified guide. There are also souvenir shops and food establishments on the territory.
Every year, the Kyiv open-air museum welcomes visitors not only from Ukraine, but also from various corners of the world. Become one of them!
