Open-air Ethnographic Museum, Open-air folk museum in Szentendre, Hungary
The Open-air Ethnographic Museum in Szentendre is an outdoor museum featuring authentic rural buildings, farmhouses, windmills, and churches from different Hungarian regions. The grounds span over 60 hectares and display traditional structures and objects from the 18th to 20th centuries.
The museum was founded in 1967 as part of the Budapest Ethnographic Museum to preserve traditional Hungarian structures and ways of life. It became one of the country's major institutions for documenting rural architecture and culture.
The museum displays ten Hungarian regions through original buildings that reflect different architectural styles and traditional crafts of each area. Visitors can see how people lived and worked in various parts of the country in earlier times.
The grounds are accessible between April and November with regular craft demonstrations and folk programs. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the museum grounds are extensive and require considerable walking.
Every building on the museum grounds was completely dismantled at its original location and then reconstructed using detailed architectural documentation. This painstaking process ensures the structures are historically accurate and authentically rebuilt.
