Collections, Research and Building Heritage

Centre of Rural Architecture researches, collects and mediates cultural history and know-how related to rural built heritage. We want to encourage people to value and preserve the rural building heritage more competently. In our research, we deal with the interactions and changes in the livelihood and architecture of rural areas over time. The material heritage preserved in the collections of the open-air museum reveals the everyday life and space culture of the past. We share constantly evolving knowledge through publications, exhibitions, seminars and practical training.
