SĄDECKI ETHNOGRAPHICAL PARK - The museum is a huge source of knowledge about ethnographic groups - Lachs, Foothills and Nowy Sącz Highlanders, as well as ethnic groups: Lemkos, Germans and Gypsies. There are several dozen buildings on an area of 20 ha, including: peasant farmsteads, a 17th-century noble manor house with unique polychrome interiors, a manor farm and 18th-century temples: a Roman Catholic church, a Greek Catholic church and a Protestant church. In one of the sectors, the buildings of the German colonists from Gołkowice Dolne were recreated, and on the edge of the forest there was a small Gypsy settlement. The open-air museum's exhibition presents the chronological, property and social diversity of the folk culture of the Sądecczyzna region, and knowledge about the region's traditions is enriched by thematic ethnographic exhibitions: "The Wedding Chamber" and "Lemko Maziarstwo". The surroundings of the farmsteads and the arrangement of greenery have a traditional character.
