Introduction
This museum is unique in design. Although there is not much to see upon entering the building, the outdoor museum is very attractive. This place has been the center of a small town since the Middle Ages, until it was preserved and turned into the museum it is today after the migration in the 20th century. Here, you can see early 20th century architecture, including gas stations, post offices, pharmacies, tobacco shops, candy stores, medieval churches, and farmhouses. The museum also has some staff members who will smile and show you their latest made blood sausages, saying "my hands are a little dirty, don't mind." Some rooms are restored very realistically, with TV programs playing and soft lighting, making it seem like the owner is only temporarily out. Additionally, there are folk performances in the town center. As this is a real town, walking around here gives you a strange feeling that you have traveled back in time, just like exploring treasure chests in RPG games, you might find something interesting in a corner.
