Shevchenko Grove, Open-air museum in Lviv, Ukraine
The Shevchenko Grove spans 36 hectares of hilly terrain and contains 124 architectural monuments organized into 54 traditional farmsteads from western Ukraine regions.
The museum emerged from a department of folk construction in 1966 and officially opened to visitors in 1972 with the first exhibit being St. Nicholas Church.
The territory divides into six ethnographic zones representing distinct regions: Boyko, Lemko, Hutsul, Bukovina, Podolia, and Lviv, each displaying authentic rural buildings and artifacts.
Visitors can explore the museum daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with interior tours of farmsteads available Wednesday through Sunday at regular and discounted admission rates.
The collection features 20,000 everyday objects and folk art pieces, including a preserved peasant house from 1749, making it one of the largest folk architecture displays.
