The Open-air Ethnographic Museum in Szentendre opened in 1967 as the Village Musem Department of the Budapest Museum of Ethnography. 5 years later it became an independent organization in the valley of Sztaravoda Creek. 

The internationally renowned and awarded museum was aimed to present traditional architecture, rural life and economy of Hungarian regions through original buildings and objects from the mid-18th century to the early-20th century. 

Currently, peasant households from 8 regions (Upper Tisza Region, the Great Plain, the Little Plain, Bakony/Balaton Uplands, West Transdanubia, South Transdanubia, Upland market town, North Hungarian village) are displayed together with buildings for community and sacral life as well as farming. It is home to an admirable collection of nearly 400 buildings, 80 thousand objects, 118 thousand photos and 21 thousand slides. 

Besides open-air exhibitions museum lessons also await children. The Heritage Workshop Programme provides and insight into traditional crafts, for example cooking and baking in a furnace. If tired of walking, take the Skanzen Train, a bike or a scooter at the entrance to explore the museum.
