a short walk from our apartment is the Lviv folk architecture museum... |
...named for national poet Taras Schevchenko |
a c1910 dwelling from the Lviv region... |
...and current home to a new family... |
...also serves as a folk art gallery... |
...with some strange folk indeed! |
a school class arrives |
|
|
in front of the 18th-century St. Nicholas church, in the Boyko style |
|
|
|
another late 19th-c. dwelling... |
...and its porch |
bird houses or models? |
cut-paper folk art on display |
we think it's a well cover... |
|
the park is filled with young trees and steep ravines... |
...plus some enthusiastic wildlife |
|
volunteers are active guides and docents |
a farm setting with dwelling and outbuildings |
a view into some of the buildings |
|
|
|
another wooden church |
|
|
primroses forcing spring to arrive |
some of the roofs and structures are a bit tired |
|
but there is active repair work going on |
this building still has the re-assembly markings from when it was moved here |
a newer rural building style |
the setting for many of the structures is beautiful |
|
a schoolhouse |
a tiny chapel... |
...and its interior |
on the road back out of the park |
a last look at the St. Nicholas church |
we return to the museum park in spring of 2011: much leafier now! |
and warmer: we can wear lighter clothing |
but the paths are nicely shaded |
|
|
this time we are able to complete the trail loop... which means a hike up out of the steep canyon |
much has changed: grasses are growing... |
roof repairs are progressing... |
and there is new thatching on some of the buildings |
lots more visitors this time of year |
one more thing spring brings to the park: weddings! |
