Perfect break from the city walls

Jun 2021

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.

Worth exploring to get a sense of Poland’s rural experience

Oct 2021

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.

SWMBO loved it

Mar 2017 • Couples

We caught a number 18 bus to the site. Need a dry day I would suggest as there is plenty of walking to do to see the whole site. Our visit was about 3 and a half hours and we covered everything that was open. The restaurant and exhibits in Manor house open after 31 March. The animals were in their pens this time of year and they probably wished they weren't with spring underway! Some of the buildings were closed (around the lake) as they obviously suffered thatch damage over the winter. Buildings in the 'town area' were locked but a very nice fellow opened them for us and explained what they were about, excellent customer experience. The lady at the cash desk wasn't an English speaker but gave us an english plan to navigate the site. There were also numerous staff on site maintaining buildings, the grounds and cleansing duties. An enjoyable time. We caught the bus 20 back to town.

How I loved this place

Oct 2017 • Couples

We were so lucky to have a cloudless sky on a lovely autumn day. The entry price is very reasonable and it is a 15 minute bus ride from central Lublin. It is so well laid out, you feel as if you are in the countryside as you walk down lanes and paths between the buildings. They have managed to retain a naturalness which can be absent from museums of this type. There are goats, sheep, horses, chickens etc and these all add to feelings of authenticity. The highlight for me was the lake with the backdrop of buildings on the low hillside opposite. Initially I was not sure how much I wanted to visit but having been it was a real highlight and not to be missed, beautifully done.

Good for picnic

Jul 2016 • Friends

Absolutely cool place for picnic with family or friends on sunny day. Buildings from XVIII XIX century so it's a really nice time travel. Tickets are cheap and there are English speaking guid tours.

Simply WOW place

Aug 2016 • Couples

We've been to a similar place before but this museum tops it all. Apart from all the old style cottages (with many great items inside, paintings, furniture), it has a mini town indise, with different shops and services (post, dentist, barber, bar, etc). There is a stable, don't forget to pay horses a visit. There is also a lovely mansion, 2 churches, a windmill, lakes and great views. Arrive early to ommit crowds, around 11 the place was full with kids groups, they effectively block access to cottages. Book 2-3 hours on a sunny day to have a relaxing stroll. Ticket 12 pln, parking for free.

Try to be prepared

Jun 2016 • Couples

Once you go there - please remember it should be eye opener. It shows how people really, REALLY lived 120 - 150 years ago. What kind of tensions were present. Why so many fleed to US. Why communism was born. Try to be wiser after such visit.

A fascinating glimpse of a lost world

Jul 2015 • Solo

This wonderful museum is to be found on the outskirts of Lublin, just a short bus ride from the old town. To go to the door take bus 18 or 21 and get off at the Skansen.

The entrance fee was 12.50 PLN, which includes a map and, if you are lucky, a guide to some of the buildings. You can buy souvenirs and postcards from the small shop.

Why go there? The museum recreates a Central European / Polish village on the cusp of a war which changed Europe forever. It differs from similar museums around Europe in that each building has provenance and the guides can tell you the stories behind the buildings and their owners. As it was a time of change, you have a wooden windmill sitting close by to a post and telegraph office, see a priest's house where they listened to a radio yet cooked on a wood burning stove and see modern technology in it's early stages of development. The old ways were changing and that is clearly shown here. There is also a reminder of outside events in the form if the Jewish house cobbled together from different houses because, of course, there was an attempt to eradicate Jewish communities.

Alongside, the houses and traditional buildings there are live animals and flower gardens.

I think you could easily spend one or the hours here. If you are lucky enough to meet one of the curators then they will fill in the background to the buildings for you. It is one of the best of its kind I have visited.
