The open-air museum in Olsztynek - Built in 1910, it is one of the oldest open-air museums in Poland.
It is situated on the beautiful outskirts of Olsztynek, among ponds, small forests, fields and meadows. Numerous animals live here. You will be able to watch horses (especially the Poilsh race Konik) cows, goats, sheep, rabbits and various birds.
But, of course, the exhibits are worth seeing as well. In addition to the architecture (50 exhibits), the museum disposes of 8000 objects representing everyday life, of 2000 artisan exhibits and of more than 6000 books. The houses presented come from Warmia, Masuria, Powiśle, Barcja, Sambia and Lithuania Minor.
Not only houses are presented, but also workshops, barns, religious buildings, one watermill, four windmills, one oil mill, a forge, a weaving mill and a pottery. This architectural plurality makes this open-air museum a nationwide place of interest.
