Open-air Museum Vysočina, Open-air folk museum in Veselý Kopec and Hlinsko, Czech Republic
The museum complex presents a collection of historic buildings relocated from the Vysočina region, displaying traditional rural architecture and living spaces.
Established in 1972 by Luděk Štěpán, the museum preserves structures from the mid-19th to mid-20th century, including water-powered technical installations and craftsmen workshops.
The museum exhibits contain demonstrations of local crafts, including weaving, toymaking, shoemaking, and file-making, representing the regional industrial heritage.
Three distinct touring routes guide visitors through the museum grounds, with exhibitions distributed between the Veselý Kopec site and the Betlém conservation area.
The museum features functioning water-driven mechanisms, including a plum jam mill, bark mill, oil press, and sawmill that demonstrate historical food processing methods.
