The Orawa Ethnographic Park in Zubrzyca Górna (Polish: Muzeum - Orawski Park Etnograficzny w Zubrzycy Górnej) was opened in 1955. It is located on the Polish-Slovak border, at the foot of Babia Góra. It presents the history, architecture, material, social and spiritual culture of the Upper Orava region. In the open-air museum, visitors will see typical cottages with a wyżka (a room in the attic) in which highlanders lived, as well as the places where they worked: a sawmill, an oil mill, a smithy and a fulling mill - a plant where cloth was treated. They will also learn about the history and tradition of glass painting important for the culture of this region. The most valuable monument of the Museum is the manor of the Moniak family - former village administrators of Zubrzyca Górna. In total, the permanent exhibition of the Museum - Orawa Ethnographic Park in Zubrzyca Górna consists of over 60 objects. The area of the museum is approximately 12 ha. Apart from traditional sightseeing, the museum also conducts educational activities.
Please note that ITS-Poland works with groups only (10 participants and more).
