Open-air Museum of the Łódź Wooden Architecture, Open-air architectural museum in Łódź, Poland.
The Open-air Museum of the Łódź Wooden Architecture displays historical wooden buildings from the Łódź region at the turn of the 19th to 20th century. The collection includes residential houses, a church, and a summer villa spread across expansive grounds.
The museum was established in 2008 to preserve wooden buildings from around 1900 in the Łódź region. These structures reflect how people lived in the area more than a century ago.
Working craft demonstrations including weaving and ceramics are visible throughout the museum, showing traditional Polish artisan methods. These active workshops connect visitors directly with how local people once practiced their trades.
The museum sits next to Władysław Reymont Park and is easily accessible on foot. You can explore the different buildings at your own pace or join a guided tour.
A working wooden church was moved from the village of Nowosolna to the museum site and rebuilt piece by piece. The grounds also feature original wells and street lamps that show how streets looked in old Łódź.
