Skansen in Krylos, Museum in der Ukraine
Skansen in Krylos is an open-air museum with eleven buildings moved from four Carpathian regions. Each section displays different architecture and household furnishings from Pokuttya, Hutsulshchyna, Boykivshchyna, and Opillya.
The museum opened in 1982 and became part of the Ancient Halych National Preserve in 1994. Buildings date from the late 1800s to 1940s, including a Pokuttya farmstead, Hutsul houses from 1889 onwards, a Boykivshchyna home from 1878, and a weaver's farmstead from the mid-1800s.
The site reflects the identity of the Carpathian regions through its arranged buildings and their differences. Inside the homes, woven textiles, embroidered cloths, and traditional garments show how craftwork was central to community life across these areas.
The museum sits near the Krylos-Halych road and has clear signage throughout the village. The site covers roughly 7 hectares with paths connecting the building groups, making it easy to walk and explore each section at your own pace.
A wooden All Saints church from the early 1900s, originally from Poplavnyky village, stands among the other buildings. This structure looks more like a home than a typical church, revealing the rural building traditions in an unexpected way.
