A stunning museum, a lot of interesting things, a very large territory, it is best to take an excursion, a very picturesque place, stunning nature, the whole family was happy to visit. For an additional fee, you can ride horses, hang gliding, and there are cute inexpensive souvenirs. Why are there still 4 stars - in the entire vast territory we could not buy water, ordinary water for a child, it was hot, the territory was large, and we drank all our water, the local tavern could not stand visitors - the tables on the street were not serviced, there were few of them inside and only one waitress behind the bar and behind at the cash desk, and at table service (only alcohol and soda are available from drinks). I was also surprised that there are practically no signs on the territory, only a map at the beginning. Plus, dump trucks and other equipment were driven at breakneck speed, some construction work was carried out on the shore of the track. In general, it is best to go by car and with a sufficient supply of water.
A lot of work has been done to recreate everyday life and cultural traditions! This is from a good one)
We visited with children, the territory is large , you can walk for a long time , you can only eat in one cafe, there is nothing else on the territory, or we did not find it. The cafe has homemade food , it 's fine )
One of the disadvantages is the toilet , it 's TERRIBLE
At the entrance, you are greeted by a building that cannot be visited for sanitary and ethical reasons "from the word at all". Dear curators of this museum, please show respect to your guests and solve the problem
We visited the museum with our big family on a cloudy day on August 22, 2024 and are still exchanging impressions. It is very informative and at the same time homely. There were almost no visitors and we had a wonderful walk almost alone. These huts are like .. I don't even know what to compare it with... As in the stories of Turgenev, Gorky, Chekhov and Korolenko, they visited in reality. The museum was conceived by Soviet restorers, which gives it special weight. Not like these modern agro-ethno-innovations. After a walk, we got hungry and had lunch at the tavern. The prices seemed adequate to us. The tavern serves sooo delicious apple pie and herbal tea, we recommend it to everyone.
To the caretakers of the Holy Transfiguration Church (the "Dnieper region" zone) and the Wreath yard from the village of Budichi ("Poozerye") special thanks from our family for their help, kindness, interesting information about the objects entrusted to them and cordiality. And the church from the village of Velets built in the 18th century is an absolute delight. Standing next to each other, you can still see Homa Brutus and Pannochka, albeit not quite a geographically correct association.
Of the minuses: the caretaker of the chapel from the village of Korolevtsy (the very first one I met, next to the mill) turned out to be a very unpleasant, embittered and ill-mannered man. During our visit to the chapel, he burned us all the time with his evil and arrogant gaze, no less than selflessly prevented theft (well, of course, we came to steal artifacts with the whole family))))) To absolutely harmless questions ("will we walk along this path to the mill"), he was mercilessly and senselessly rude ("I don't know where you will go there. Go wherever you want, no one is lost here yet"). It's a shame that this one with a black soul is stuck in such a God-pleasing place. Well, anyway, we didn't let this evil man spoil our mood and moved on in a friendly company.
