About Jamno Culture Open-Air Museum

A branch of the Museum in Koszalin on the culture of Jamno and Łabusz: an open-air museum with a fisherman's cottage on Młyńska Street and the Jamno Farmstead with a reconstructed cottage and barn.

The Jamno Culture Open-Air Museum is a branch of the Museum in Koszalin, devoted to the former life of the inhabitants of the villages of Jamno and Łabusz near Koszalin, today districts of the city. The region stood out for its own, island-like culture, and the open-air museum shows it in a farmstead with reed roofs.

The open-air museum on Młyńska Street

According to Wikipedia the museum's ethnographic department, commonly called the Jamno Culture Open-Air Museum, was founded in 1982 in the centre of Koszalin at Młyńska 37-39. It consists of a fisherman's cottage from 1869, a shoemaker's workshop from the early 20th century and a reconstructed barn with a forge. The buildings were moved here in 1983 from the village of Dąbki. They were built in post-and-beam construction with Fachwerk infill, and the roofs are covered with reed. Since 2001 the exhibition “Cultural Island. The Village of Jamno near Koszalin” has been on show, presenting the original Jamno culture.

The Jamno Farmstead

The zagrodajamno.pl website describes the Jamno Farmstead, a reconstruction of a historic 19th-century farmstead on a plot in the centre of Jamno, next to the historic church. Two buildings were constructed: a cottage, a replica of a dwelling house from 1853, and a barn of about 280 m² (its prototype dates from 1765). Both have timber-frame construction and reed roofs. The cottage displays objects from the everyday life of the people of Jamno from the second half of the 19th century, and the commentary is provided as a multimedia app. The barn is used for educational activities and workshops on Jamno ornamentation.

The farmstead and the open-air museum are two parts of one museum. Nearby on Młyńska Street stands the Museum in Koszalin.
