The Wallachian Open Air Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm is the largest open-air museum in the Czech Republic and one of the oldest in Central Europe, founded in 1925 by the Jaroněk brothers. It comprises three sections - the Little Wooden Town, the Wallachian Village and the Water Mill Valley - with original timbered buildings relocated from the surrounding region alongside reconstructions, all set in natural landscape. The museum is a listed national monument and runs events throughout the year focused on folklore, traditional crafts and customs. It also manages the ensemble of wooden Art Nouveau buildings by Dušan Jurkovič at Pustevny.
