Shevchenkivskyi Hai, Open-air folk museum in Lviv, Ukraine

The Shevchenkivskyi Hai spans across 36 hectares of forested land, containing 110 wooden architectural monuments arranged into 52 traditional homesteads representing Western Ukraine.

Established in 1971, the museum originated from a 1763 wooden church that was relocated from Kryvka village through efforts of Mykhailo Drahan and Andrey Sheptytsky.

The museum holds 20,000 exhibits, including 8,000 traditional clothing pieces and textiles, along with manuscripts dating back to the 15th century.

Visitors can access the museum daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with interior exhibits open Wednesday through Sunday until 17:00, offering guided tours and traditional craft workshops.

The museum houses seven wooden churches, representing the largest collection of religious structures gathered in a single open-air museum worldwide.
