I love Open-Air museums. It’s great to get a picture of the country, its culture and history in one place.

In reply to Irene S. Levine. I visited Sturbridge quite a few times as a child (I grew up next door in Connecticut.). It's a lovely glimpse into New England's rural past.

In reply to Denis Gagnon. I never really thought of living cities like Quebec, Jerusalem or Athens as being open-air museums, but I guess you could see them that way. In that case, I'd add Mont-Saint-Michel to the list, and lots of other towns in Europe!

I like open air museums as well, whether they be small villages such as Skansen, Sturbridge and Williamsburg or large cities like Quebec City, Jerusalem or Athens. We just came back from a river cruise in Russia and stopped in the village of Mandrogy, which also consists of traditional homes from past centuries. Thanks for this interesting insight!

We recently were in the vicinity of Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts but didn’t have time to visit!

In reply to Kristin Henning. True, it would also be good as an introduction before further travels.

We have been to Stockholm a couple of times but had no idea about Skansen. Wish we could have been at TBEX so we could have seen it. Thanks for the heads up, we’ll have to check it out next time.

I biked around this area in Stockholm, but didn’t see the interiors. I love the idea of open air museums. There’s a great park with authentic architectural museum in Bucharest. Even though we drove around Romania and saw many examples in sitio, the open air museum was a great introduction.
