The Museum – Teodora and Izydor Gulgowski Kashubian Ethnographic Park in Wdzydze Kiszewskie is located on the picturesque shores of Lake Gołuń. There are over 50 buildings characteristic of the rural landscape of Kashubia, Kociewie and Tuchola Forest from the 17th to the 20th century. Visitors can admire the wealth of old wooden architecture of Pomerania with its equipment: cottages, manors, a school, windmills, churches, inns, farm buildings and craft workshops. The farmsteads present: methods of grinding snuff and grinding grain, washing, mangling, tailoring, weaving, the work of a blacksmith, wheelwright and forest worker. The museum offers various workshops and shows, both for individual visitors and for groups. For the youngest visitors, an interactive exhibition has been prepared “Museum for fun?” - where children can experience the past and plan a museum of the future. This is an exhibition where you are allowed to touch the exhibits: check what it is like to sleep under a duvet, look inside a cast iron waffle iron and rummage through a kitchen cupboard. It tells about various museums that exist in the world; explains why we need museum collections in the first place; shows what kind of exhibits can be collected, for example, in open-air museums. It asks children and adults the question: "What matters to people?" In this way, the exhibition makes visitors aware that research never ends, and that history and tradition are constantly being created. https://wdzydzkipark.pl/o-parku-4/dziedzictwo-kulturowe-6/muzea/kaszubski-park-etnograficzny/
