Museum of the Slovak Village, Open-air folk museum in Martin, Slovakia

The Museum of the Slovak Village displays 129 traditional buildings spread across 15.5 hectares, representing northwest Slovak folk architecture from four regions.

The foundation stone was laid in September 1968, with the first phase of buildings from the Orava region opening to visitors in 1972.

The museum exhibits include a wooden Roman Catholic church from 1792, traditional homesteads, an oil production facility, and a historical inn from 1811.

Visitors can participate in educational workshops focusing on traditional manufacturing techniques and purchase regional crafts at the specialized souvenir store.

The museum presents the Romano Drom exhibition about Gypsy culture while maintaining gardens with traditional Slovak plants and herbs throughout the grounds.
