Muzeum Wsi Orawskiej

The Orava Village Museum is an open-air museum. Its purpose was to familiarize visitors with folk architecture and its furnishings. It depicts settlements and their natural surroundings, such as forests, meadows, and pastures.

The museum's buildings once stood in various locations throughout Orava, but were purchased from their owners, dismantled, transported, and reassembled on the museum grounds. In addition, there are buildings that could not be transported to their original location and were therefore reconstructed.

The museum is divided into several sections: Lower Orava Square (a village with a marketplace), Hornooravská Street with terraced houses, highland settlements, a church and cemetery, a mill (located next to the Studená mountain stream that flows through the area), and seasonal buildings.

The Orava Village Museum also showcases farmland where traditional crops are grown: oats, rye, Ivrica grain, broad beans, peas, poppies, flax, and fodder beets. Animal husbandry is also on display: sheep, goats, horses, geese, and chickens.

The opening days and hours of the Orava Village Museum vary depending on the month.
