Національний центр народної культури "Музей Івана Гончара" створено в 1993 році з ініціативи народного художника України Івана Гончара, співзасновника Українського Товариства охорони пам'яток історії та культури, та одного з найбільших у світі скансенів - Музею народної архітектури та побуту України.

Музей розміщений у старовинній будівлі - пам'ятці архітектури XVIII століття. Експозиція заснована на приватній колекції Івана Гончара, який за радянських часів розшукував та збирав високохудожні твори українського народного мистецтва, а також роботи професійних живописців, які через ідеологічні причини не могли потрапити до державних музеїв.

Представлено велику колекцію ікон XVI-XVIII століть, тканин, кераміки, музичних інструментів.
