The ethnographic museum of folk architecture and rural life Shevchenkivskyi Gai is an amazingly harmonic and cozy place in Lviv's center. Here, on the territory of 60 hectares, museum's creators placed over 120 architectural sites and a bulk of folk life objects, which were brought here from Western Ukraine's various corners. In doing so they skillfully used natural relief that is surprisingly reminiscent of Carpathian landscapes. The whole territory of the museum of folk architecture and life is provisionally divided into six historical and ethnographical zones. Each of them is a mini-village with all attributes of 18th-19th centuries' country life that were typical for one or another Western Ukraine's people. Shevchenkivskyi Gai s architectural complex consists of ancient huts and household buildings, churches, smithy, sawmill, water and wind mills.
