Múzeum - Ždiarsky Dom
About This Museum
Tucked away on the main road in Ždiar, this isn't your typical museum; it's a preserved house that lets you step right into the past. You walk through the door and the scent of old wood and smoke hits you, telling a story before you even read a plaque. It feels less like an institution and more like the Goral families who built this village have just stepped out for a moment. Every object, from the painted furniture to the simple kitchen tools, speaks of a life shaped by the mountains.
Collection Highlights
You can't miss the stunning 'blue room' with its hand-painted floral motifs covering every surface, a true folk art masterpiece. The massive ceramic stove, used for both heating and cooking, stands as the warm heart of the home. Look closely at the traditional Goral clothing, especially the intricate leather boots and brightly embroidered linens.
Visitor Information
It's right on Ždiar's main street, so you can't miss it—just look for the classic wooden facade. Do check opening times locally as they can be seasonal; popping in feels more like visiting a neighbor than buying a ticket.
Architecture & Building
A classic example of Ždiar's distinctive log architecture, with its characteristic steep shingled roof and cheerful green shutters framing the windows.
