Description
The Museum of the Mazovian Countryside in Sierpc - an open-air museum founded on March 24, 1971 in Sierpc, as a regional ethnographic museum. The Ethnographic Park was established in 1975 on the premises of the Bojanowo manor house. The first objects were brought in in the years 1977-1978. The current name has been in force since 1987
On the area of 60.5 ha at the junction of the Sierpienica and Skrwa rivers, over 80 small and large architecture objects have been collected. The exhibition includes: 11 peasant farms from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries; reconstructed manor house; An 18th-century wooden church from Drążdżewo; a wooden windmill representing the oldest and most popular type of windmills in Europe, the post; permanent exhibitions at the Folk Sculpture Gallery and the Coach House. Currently, the Museum houses over 13,000 exhibits.
The spatial layout of the linear village reconstructed in the open-air museum refers to the most common type of agricultural settlement in Poland. The appearance of the pens faithfully corresponds to their pre-translocation condition in their heyday. The Sierpc open-air museum is constantly being expanded, and soon visitors will have the opportunity to admire another type of village - a roadside village, which will include 38 objects, incl. an inn, a blacksmith's shop, presbytery buildings and several farmhouses.
