Folk museum

A folk museum[1] is a museum that deals with folk culture and heritage. Such museums cover local life in rural communities. A folk museum typically displays historical objects that were used as part of the people's everyday lives.[2] Examples of such objects include clothes and tools. Many folk museums are also open-air museums and some cover rural history.
