An open-air museum (or open air museum) is a museum that exhibits collections of buildings and artefacts out-of-doors. It is also frequently known as a museum of buildings or a folk museum
The concept of an open-air museum originated in Scandinavia in the late 19th century and spread widely.
Living-history museums, including living-farm museums and living museums are open-air museums where costumed interpreters portray period life in an earlier era. The interpreters act as if they are living in a different time and place and perform everyday household tasks, crafts, and occupations. The goal is to demonstrate older lifestyles and pursuits to modern audiences.
