Sanok’s Museum of Folk Architecture is Poland’s largest skansen (open-air museum of traditional architecture). You’ll find around 120 historic buildings here and gain insight into the cultures of the Boyks and Lemks. Among the highlights are four timber churches, an inn, a school and even a fire station. To reach the skansen, walk north from the town centre for around 1km along ul Mickiewicza and ul Białogórska, cross the bridge over the San and turn right.
The museum is laid out loosely according to geography, with each region having its own ethnic identity and style. 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.
