Hungarian Open Air Museum

The Hungarian Open Air Museum (Hungarian: Szentendrei Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum) is Hungary’s largest outdoor collection, founded in 1967. The open-air museum shows Carpathian folk architecture and life in various areas of Hungary.

Inspired by the creation of Skansen, established in Stockholm in 1891, the Hungarian facility in Szentendre was founded in 1967 after years of preparation by ethnographers. Opened as the "Village Museum Department" of the Budapest Ethnographic Museum, in 1972 it became independent. The museum has an area of 46 hectares at Sztaravoda.

There are eight areas of the museum:

• North Hungarian Village
• Upland Market Town
• Upper-Tisza
• Great Plains
• Southern Transdanubia
• Bakony, Balaton Uplands
• Western Transdanubia
• Kisalföld
