Vychylovka Open-air Museum

The open-air museum in Vychylovka (the Museum of the Kysuce Village) is a regional ethnographic outdoor exhibition of the Kysuce Museum in Čadca. The foundation stone was laid on 11 October 1974 in the village of Chmúra in Nová Bystrica close to the border with Poland.

The museum provides a unique chance to learn how villages in the region of Kysuce used to look. The display consists of dwelling houses and religious objects as well as technical and farm buildings, coming from various parts of Kysuce. It presents the lifestyle and culture of people living in the villages of Kysuce in the 2^nd half of the 19^th century and at the beginning of the 20^th century.

Another interesting part of the museum is the functional narrow-gauge railway with a unique switch system. The railroad used to connect Kysuce and Ostrava; nowadays it serves as an attraction for visitors.
