Description The article analyses the idea of open-air museums in selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe while aiming to identify and name the varied focus and specificities of their presentations. These institutions typically combine two concepts: the monument concept, which relates to the protection and presentation of architecture, and the museological concept, which includes the “revival” of these sites through presentation and educational means. A living museum, living history, presenting everyday life, crafts, handcrafts, agricultural work, but also revived technological and military objects, have an inestimable place in the system of modern museum culture.
