Museum of the Folk Culture of Pomerania
Since May 2012, the Pomeranian Folk Culture Museum in Swołowo has been offering visitors the opportunity to visit 13 meticulously revitalised historic rural buildings erected in a timber-frame construction, located in the middle of a 'living' village. The lattice buildings have become a permanent part of the village landscape, which is why Swołowo is called the capital of the 'land of the lattice'—as the area dominated by old timber-frame buildings (from Łeba to Darłowo) is commonly called.
Ethnographers and museum professionals have been restoring the splendour of this unusual village for several years. The reconstructed and renovated 19th-century monuments fulfil an exhibition and cultural function. Two barns and a cowshed house house multimedia ethnographic exhibitions on the history and rural culture of Pomerania, including Pomeranian carpentry, carpentry, legends and weaving. The museum offers a rich educational programme for children and young people, including lessons and workshops thematically linked to rituals and everyday life in the former Pomeranian countryside. Visitors can take part in threshing grain, chopping straw, tending farm animals (the museum breeds horses, sheep, geese, chickens and ducks), cooking on an old tiled stove, and brewing beer according to an old Swolowo recipe. Demonstrations of bread baking and blacksmith's work are organised.
The open-air museum hosts cyclical events to which tourists from all over Poland come. Among the most popular are: "Asparagus Feast" (June), "Children's Homestead", i.e. educational and artistic meetings for children (every Sunday in July), "Blacksmiths Plein-air" organised alongside the Blacksmith Forum Association (August), "Babie Lato', during which a competition for the best homemade liqueur is held (1 September), and a culinary feast—an event entitled "The Best Pomeranian Goose Meat for St. Martins Day", attracting goose meat gourmets from all over the country (around 11 November).
