SWMBO loved it

The Lublin Open Air Village Museum was established in 1970. Set in 60 acres of picturesque land it is one of the largest open air museums in Poland. The area is composed of several parts reflecting particular geographical units of Lublin region. Our Museum preserves the historic images of villages, manors and provincial towns with their regional characteristic features of buildings and settlement layouts. Field crops, gardens and livestock enrich the open air museum exhibition. Customs, rituals and daily work of people living in the past are recreated thanks to the abundance of exhibits. At present, traditional rural architecture of Lublin Upland, Roztocze and Vistula River Region is represented, whereas Podlasie as well as Bug River Region are still under construction. The image of the past is complemented by a provincial town and a manor house accompanied by a park. What you may find particularly appealing about the Museum are the 17th century Roman Catholic church and th

    Worth exploring to get a sense of Poland’s rural experience
    This museum of rural Polish houses and village life is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Lublin for few days. The array of homes from regions in Eastern Poland is fascinating but will take some walking as the exhibits are spread out over a large area. You will need a good two to three hours to take it all in. The museum is easily accessible by public transport from downtown Lublin.

    Perfect break from the city walls
    Very nice open space that recreates old villages and homes from this region. You can easily spend here half a day and this is a perfect place to bring kids. They can interact with the livestock (horses, cows, hen, goats and others). Normal tickets cost 18pln for the whole day. There are plenty of areas, benches where you can have a picnic or you can also buy food at the restaurant where they serve normal food. The areas could be better maintained but still very nice place to enjoy the afternoon.
