Museum of Kielce Land's Countryside in Kielce

The Museum of Kielce Land's Countryside is an open-air museum spread across a large site that displays traditional buildings from the rural region. It contains farmhouses, workshops, small homes, and other structures that represent life in the countryside.

The museum was established in 1976 and began operations shortly after to preserve the rural heritage of the region for future generations. It was based on scientific guidelines that were set during its founding.

The park displays buildings that reflect everyday life in villages across the region, with houses from different social classes. Visitors can see how farmers, craftspeople, and wealthier families lived differently.

The grounds are easy to explore on foot, with paths leading between the different buildings that allow you to see everything at your own pace. It is best to visit earlier in the day when the site is less crowded and you have more time to explore.

The arrangement and presentation of buildings follows a scientific system that was carefully developed when the museum was being designed. This makes the way the exhibition is structured a study in itself.
