Dudutki, Theme park museum in Navapoĺski Sieĺsaviet, Belarus.
Dudutki is a museum complex set across multiple buildings with craft courtyards, workshops, and exhibition spaces showing traditional Belarusian skills and rural production methods. The layout includes areas where visitors walk through different trades and crafts as they explore the grounds.
The site originated as a noble estate dating to the 1600s and was converted into a museum in 1994 to preserve Belarusian craft traditions and rural heritage. This transformation saved historic buildings and techniques from disappearing.
Craftspeople work on-site creating pottery, metalwork, and dairy products using techniques passed down through generations in the region. These demonstrations reveal how people once made everyday items they needed for survival.
The site is best explored on foot, with paths connecting the various courtyards and workshops that are simple to follow. Wear comfortable shoes, as the grounds spread across an outdoor area with several buildings to visit.
The complex operates the only legally authorized moonshine distillery in Belarus, where visitors can learn about centuries-old methods of spirit production. This unusual facility reveals an important part of local heritage that few places openly demonstrate.
