Glade of Fairy Tales, Open-air folklore museum in Yalta, Republic of Crimea.
The museum displays over 300 wooden sculptures and carved figures representing characters from traditional stories across its forested grounds.
Pavel Bezrukov initiated the creation of this artistic space in 1960 after moving to Yalta for health reasons and began crafting sculptures.
The collection includes representations of Baba Yaga, Svyatogor, and Teremok, reflecting the rich folklore traditions of the region.
Visitors can explore the grounds between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM in summer, with guided tours lasting approximately ninety minutes.
Each sculpture integrates with the natural landscape, positioned among trees on the northeast slope of Mount Mogabi near the Uchan-Su waterfall.
