Open Air Museum
An Open Air Museum is a type of museum that displays collections of buildings and artifacts in outdoor settings. These museums often feature historical structures, such as houses, farms, and workshops, allowing visitors to experience and learn about traditional lifestyles and cultures. They aim to preserve and showcase the architectural heritage of a region.
Visitors to an Open Air Museum can explore various exhibits, participate in demonstrations, and engage with interpreters dressed in period costumes. Popular examples include the Skansen in Sweden and the Ecomuseum in France, which provide immersive experiences that highlight local history and craftsmanship.
