Lonely Planet review for Museum of Folk Architecture
Sanok is noted for its unique Museum of Folk Architecture, a skansen (open-air museum of traditional architecture) about 2km north of the centre. Poland’s largest open-air museum, it has gathered about 120 traditional buildings from the southeast of the country and provides an insight into the culture of the Boyks and Lemks. Among the highlights are four timber churches, an inn, a school and even a fire station. The interiors of many cottages are furnished and decorated as they once were, while some buildings house exhibitions; one of these features a collection of 200 icons.
