The largest open-air museum in Europe!!!
Arkhangelsk State Museum of Wooden Architecture and Folk Art "Small Korely" The name "Korely" is written precisely through "O". The spelling that is so often used in the media and when advertising the tourist complex "Small Karely" is incorrect. The name of the museum Malye Korely comes from the name of a nearby village with the same name. All pointers to Arkhangelsk contain the same error. The name of the Arkhangelsk village "Malyye Koreli" is a historical toponym, which is a monument of intangible culture and requires careful attitude of society, government and business, therefore it is unacceptable when it is written with deliberate distortions.
The name Korela comes from the name of one of the Finno-Ugric tribes that lived on the territory of historical Pomorie - "Korela".
Museum of wooden architecture and folk art "Small Korely". A unique open-air museum, the largest in Europe. The museum presents the northern village.
The museum is located 25 km from the center of Arkhangelsk. On the picturesque bank of the Northern Dvina River. The museum was founded in 1973. It is located on the territory of 140 hectares. Contains more than 100 different log buildings of the 17th-20th centuries. The museum is presented in the form of sectors. Each sector represents a certain type of northern village. Each sector includes residential, utility and other buildings. The houses represent the life of that time.
