Folk architecture and life museum pyrohovo

Pyrohovo is definitely the only place in or around Kyiv where you can get by in a mat­ter of minutes. This picturesque open-air museum has over 150 buildings - monu­ments of folk architecture, material and spiritual culture of various epochs from 25 regions of Ukraine from the 16^th to the 20^th centuries. You'll also find wooden churches, windmills, barns, wells and even a school building typ­ical of rural areas from recent centuries. If everything seems very authentic, it's because most of the buildings are in fact original and were moved here piece by piece. Traditional Ukrainian clothing, ceramics and farming equipment are also on display.

At holidays, especially the religious ones, the folk groups give shows and public festivals are organized. During these festivals people traditionally wear national clothes and all guests could taste Ukrainian cuisine just like in the countryside. The displays of museum give to every visitor a realis­tic impression of the travel in time.
