The visit to the open air museum was very interesting. Various structures from all over the Ukraine and from diverse ethnic groups have been brought together here. The way they have been fitted into the local terrain of hills, ravines, forests etc is amazing. Although we did the whole visit in pouring rain, it was still enjoyable.
