Attractions of Kalyny

The People's Ethnographic Museum "Kalyna" was created in 2005 by Transcarpathian local historian and collector Yuriy Kutsyn in his own yard in the village of Kalyny.

During his lifetime, he collected more than 4,000 exhibits, some of which are 300-400 years old. The exposition presents ancient embroidered shirts and towels, traditional Hutsul clothing for holidays and everyday life, women's jewelry, painted ceramic dishes, kerosene lamps, musical instruments.

The greatest values of the collector are the chair in which the president of Carpathian Ukraine Auhustyn Voloshyn sat, and the sword of the Steyer squire of 1810.

In front of the entrance to the museum, there are several wooden sculptures, among them the bust of Pintio Khrushch.

On the territory there is an active model of a mill, an authentic Transcarpathian house of the 18th century and a small botanical garden where bananas, lemons, and coffee trees grow.
