When you are in the Ukraine there are several different sites that you need to see. One of the most beautiful cities in the Ukraine is Kiev (Kyiv) which is the capital of the Ukraine. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful place. Today let’s take a look at one of the beautiful museums.

The National Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life PYROGOVO

This beautiful museum is set on over 150 acres of beautiful countryside. It is located on the outskirts of Kyiv in the southwestern area in the suburbs of a small town named Pyrogove.

This is one of only a few of the largest open air museums in the Ukraine and in the entire world. It was built in the year of 1969. It was build to represent the beautiful landscape and reflect it’s beauty.

When you visit you will see there are well over 150 different buildings and monuments that include spiritual and cultural material.

If you’re interested in visit this fabulous museum, I suggest doing so on one of their four different dates called craft dates that happen between May and November. On these craft days you will see live blacksmiths, pottery makers, weavers, cooper workers and so many more skilled craftsmen who are there to show off their craft.

Sundays are also a great day to visit this amazing museum. On Sunday you will be entertained by local choirs along with folk musicians. These concerts will feature the lovely Ukrainian music and can be seen onstage throughout the day.
