Vitoslavlitsy Museum of Wooden Architecture

The Novgorod exhibit brings together churches of serveral distinct designs from as early as 1531, houses from the nineteenth century, and a windmill from the early 20th century. The "villages" which result are, of course, artificial creations, since they never existed in the given location with the same grouping of buildings that one now sees. However, an obvious effort has been made to ensure authenticity at least in the houses, which have been furnished with genuine objects and in which items have been placed according to what is known from ethnographic surveys of still living traditions which can reasonably be assumed to correspond to those of the former inhabitants of the houses on display.
