Shevchenkivskyi Hai Park Museum, Open-air folk museum in Lviv, Ukraine
The museum contains 120 authentic structures from different Ukrainian regions, including houses, churches, windmills, and agricultural buildings spread across 150 acres.
The ethnographic complex started in the 1930s through Hilarion Sventsitsky's initiative and officially opened as a museum in 1971 to preserve rural Ukrainian architecture.
The museum divides into six mini-villages representing distinct regions, including Boykivshchyna, Transcarpathia, Lemkivschyna, each displaying local architectural traditions and customs.
Guided tours explain the historical context of each building, while workshops teach traditional skills such as weaving, soap making, and bread baking.
The museum holds the largest collection of ancient religious buildings among open-air museums worldwide, featuring numerous wooden churches and chapels.
