The Open-Air Ethnographic Museum, often known as the Szentendre Skanzen, is Hungary’s largest
open-air museum. It presents traditional village life through historic houses, churches, farms, and
workshops relocated from across the country.
Walking through the museum feels like stepping back in time, with authentic buildings, period
interiors, and demonstrations that show how rural communities once lived and worked.
For travelers, the Open-Air Ethnographic Museum offers a deep cultural experience and a better
