Thatch Cottage - Kourim, Czech Republic - Thatch Cottages on Waymarking.com

The Open-air Museum in Kourim is the only museum in the Czech Republic focusing on various ethnographic regions. The Museum houses collections of cultural heritage of vernacular architecture from Central, East and West Bohemia. The Museum offers an immediate comparison of the various regional types of vernacular architecture from the 17th to the 19th century. Fourteen houses and farming buildings can be found here, as well as lesser architectural objects. The Museum offers ethnographic and other accompanying programs throughout the year.

In 2012, the realization of a large project was commenced with the aim to complete the Museum, which includes a change of concept. The Museum will be converted into the Museum of the Czech Village, housing architectural sights and objects and presenting rural life in the early modern times to early 20th century with regards to social and regional specifics.
