Centrum ľudovej kultúry Krivany

About the museum

The centre opened in 2009 and consists mainly of a collection of folk-tradition objects from Šariš, assembled by the local ethnologist Ján Lazorík. The site includes authentic wooden granaries and a reconstructed traditional residential house with folk furniture. The craft yard shows the tools of various trades, and an exhibition of folk costumes is held in the building of the village office. Sculptures by a local woodcarver stand in the centre and in the village. The centre is also associated with a stone mill from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, which operated until 1952 and has been a technical monument since 1984.

Every year on the second weekend of August, the Hornotoryský folklórny festival takes place in the amphitheatre.
