Museum of Wooden Architecture, Open-air museum of traditional architecture in Kostroma, Russia.
The museum encompasses 30 wooden structures from the Kostroma region, including houses, churches, and utility buildings spread across a riverside location.
The museum was established in 1955 due to the construction of the Gorky hydroelectric dam, which required the relocation of historical wooden buildings.
The ethnographic village presents traditional Russian construction methods through preserved wooden churches, houses, and granaries from different historical periods.
The museum offers guided tours in two formats: a 45-minute standard tour for 800 rubles and a 90-minute extended tour for 1500 rubles per group.
The Church of the Assembly of the Holy Virgin, dating from 1552, represents one of the oldest preserved wooden religious structures in Russia.
