Top 12 open-air museums of folk architecture and rural life in Czechia
You don’t have to just look at the exhibits. In open-air museums, you can even enter them!
Charming open-air museums across Czechia will make you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time or are on a movie set. The largest and oldest not only in Bohemia and Moravia, but in Central Europe, can be found in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. Also, every year, the open-air museum in Strážnice hosts the biggest and oldest folk festival in Europe. And baroque Holašovice, the historical village reservation listed by UNESCO? Not to be missed!

Top 5 Open-air Museums

We humans sometimes like to look to the past. We can either dream how the world used to be simpler and remember the good old days, or on the other hand we can learn from the lives of our ancestors. You will get a bit of both when you visit one of the open-air museums. Open-air museums are special museums whose objective is to preserve folk buildings for future generations and to show folk traditions and crafts to future generations. Visit them too! You will learn about ancient rituals, get to know old folk monuments, see beautiful mills, large farmsteads and small cottages and craft workshops, in some places you can even taste period delicacies.
