Museum of Folk Life, Regional folk museum in Mariupol, Ukraine.
The Museum of Folk Life displays collections of traditional tools, household items, and national costumes from the diverse ethnic communities of the Azov region.
Founded in 1989, the museum occupies a historical building that previously contained exhibits dedicated to Soviet politician Andrei Zhdanov until the city changed its name.
The museum exhibits present the daily routines and traditions of five ethnic groups including Ukrainians, Greeks, Jews, Germans, and Russians from the 18th century.
