Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park, Open-air ethnographic museum in Chorzów, Poland.

The Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park spans 25 hectares, containing 70 historical buildings that represent traditional rural architecture from various Silesian regions.

The museum opened in 1975 with 33 monuments of rural architecture, including a wooden church from Syrynia dating back to 1510 and a granary from Gołkowice built in 1688.

The park presents five distinct subregions of Upper Silesia through authentic buildings, agricultural tools, and exhibits showcasing the daily lives of former inhabitants.

Visitors can rent tablets at the ticket office to access an interactive application that provides detailed information about each exhibition element in the museum.

The park features the last remaining windmill from Grzawa in Silesia and maintains a shepherd's shed from Brenna with actual sheep on the grounds.
