This article briefly covers some pages in the history of creation of the open-air museum in Kyiv, including the input of the memorial protection community and scientists into the museum's growth into a scientific institution, as well as the role of the architectural department (mainly consisting of graduates of Kyiv State Art Institute) in developing the project concept for shaping the museum exhibition. The implemented project suggestion in the form of a system of regional ethnic formations (Mid-Dnieper Ukraine, lands of Poltavshchyna and Slobozhanshchyna, Polissya, Podillya, Carpathian region and the South of Ukraine) organically matched the natural landscape of the location. This presentation is viewed as a model of a traditional environment consisting of preserved buildings and authentic household items. Built on a scientific basis, this kind of monument formation represents a cultural environment close to the traditional one, and provides an accurate coverage of the deep roots of folk Ukrainian architectural, construction and household traditions. Therefore, the formation mentioned above requires competent preservation and maintenance. This paper is illustated with the photos, taken by the author.
