25.05.2012The Ethnographic Park in Sanok is one of the most beautiful open-air museums in Europe (picturesque location on the right bank of the San River at the foot of the Sanocko-Turczańskie Mountainsfairly faithfully reflects the physiography of Podkarpacie). In terms of the number of objects, it is the largest open-air museum in Poland. On an area of 38 hectares, the culture of the Polish-Ukrainian borderland in the eastern part of the Polish Carpathian Mountains (Bieszczady, Beskid Niski) together with Podkarpacie is presented. The various ethnographic groups (Boykos, Lemkos, Pogorzanie and Dolinians) have separate display sectors perfectly adapted to the physiography of the area. Recreating the typical layouts of village buildings and development of homesteads, the Museum has collected more than 100 objects of wooden construction from the 17th to the 20th century, where, in addition to residential, residential-farm and farm buildings, the Park also includes religious buildings (a 17th-century church, two 18th-century Boyko Orthodox churches, one magnificent Lemko Orthodox church from the very beginning of the 19th century. and several picturesque chapels), public buildings (a village school, an inn) and industrial facilities (a water mill, windmills, forges). Both the shrines and most of the residential and farm buildings, have fully decorated interiors and are open to the public (including workshops of craftsmen: weavers, potters, wheelwrights, makers of wooden spoons, wicker baskets, etc.). The Ethnographic Park has a magnificent permanent exhibition of icon painting entitled Carpathian Icon, which presents more than 220 icons (from the 15th to the 20th centuries), showing the full development of this type of painting in the Polish Carpathian zone. Exhibition activities are complemented by temporary exhibitions organized from the museum's own collections (as there are nearly 30,000 museum artefacts on display and in storage, bringing together relics of folk culture, the culture of the inhabitants of Subcarpathian cities and towns, including rich collections of icons, oleo-prints, Judaica, clocks, copper vessels, ceramics, kilims and other items of art and artistic craftsmanship). The museum carries out significant publishing activities - the Materials of the Folk Architecture Museum in Sanok (a regional yearbook devoted to the ethnography of the Subcarpathian region) and the scientific journal Acta Scansenologica(treating the problems of open-air museums in Poland and the world) are published regularly.
