Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the idea of open-air museums in selected Central and Eastern European countries, aiming to identify and name the varied focus and specificities of their presentations. These institutions typically combine two concepts: the monument concept (protection and presentation of architecture) and the museological concept (“revival” of sites through presentation and education). Living museums, presenting everyday life, crafts, agriculture, and revived technological/military objects, hold an important place in modern museum culture.
