„Chochlowka“, architectural-ethnographic museum

The open-air museum for wooden architecture is located on a high peninsula by the Kama River. The site for the open-air museum was well chosen. The buildings blend harmoniously into the surrounding nature, and the landscapes are very picturesque!

The location of the architectural-ethnographic museum was not chosen immediately. It was decided between Tscherdyn, Solikamsk, and the surrounding areas of Perm. Ultimately, the peninsula at the Kama reservoir near the village of Chochlowka (by the way, the emphasis in the name is on the first syllable) was chosen. The peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides. The decision to establish the museum was made in April 1969 by the executive committee of the Perm region.

Various monuments of wooden architecture from the Prikamje area (surroundings of the Kama River) were transported to Chochlowka and restored by the scientific-restoration production administration, dating from the late 17th to early 20th century. This made it possible to preserve the dilapidated, decaying old buildings.

At the “Chochlowka” museum, one can learn about the traditions of Russian wooden architecture. The museum grounds are divided into thematic sectors, depending on the region from which the buildings originate: northwestern, northern, and southern Prikamje. Additionally, there are three thematic exhibitions here: hunting camps, salt industry, and agricultural complexes.
