Ataman museum, Open-air museum in Taman, Russia
The Ataman museum extends across 60 hectares on the shore of Taman Bay, featuring full-scale traditional Cossack buildings and craftsmen workshops.
In 2009, this location marked the exact spot where the first Zaporozhian Cossacks landed following the decree of Catherine the Great.
Each household in the complex represents different Cossack trades, from potters and blacksmiths to barbers, displaying authentic tools and traditional techniques.
The museum requires at least three hours to explore, with multiple restaurants serving regional dishes like dumplings, bubliks, and tea from traditional samovars.
Every house in the complex receives sponsorship from different municipalities of Krasnodar Krai, maintaining local heritage through direct regional involvement.
