 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! |
