From the history of the museum
Work on the opening of the museum began back in 1965.
Then scientists began to go on expeditions in search of houses, household items, and household utensils.
The first houses appeared in 1967.
In June 1970, the Transcarpathian Museum of Folk Architecture and Life was officially opened to visitors.
Thus, our Uzhhorod open-air museum is one of the oldest open-air museums in Ukraine.
