National Institute of Folk Culture – Open-Air Museum Strážnice

The Open-air Museum in Strážnice represents the building style and the way of life in the southeastern part of the Czech Republic. Apart from the presentation of clay and wooden vernacular buildings, it focuses on wine growing, which has been typical for this region for centuries. Thematic activities help visitors get familiar with traditional crafts, agriculture, customs and other folk traditions. The open-air museum is part of a larger organisation – the National Institute of Folk Culture, which also specialises in research and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and organises the largest international folklore festival in the country. The open-air museum serves as an experimental laboratory of traditional technologies and the application of research results.
