- Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park
The Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park or "Górnośląski Park Etnograficzny" is an open-air museum in Chorzów, Poland. It is referred to as a "skansen", stemming from the first open air museum of its kind, the Skansen in Stockholm, Sweden. The area of the park is 25 hectare.
The museum presents a range of agricultural buildings from all over Silesia. Amongst those are cottages from the Beskids, farmsteads from the Pszczyna region, a wooden church from Nieboczowy dating from the 18th century and a large number of buildings and artifacts from Istebna in Cieszyn Silesia.
