Rezerwaty budownictwa ludowego na terenie Czech

The organization of museum in the open air in Czechs was preceded by numerous theoretical works and operations concerning record. The effects of these activities have been collected in Stâtni Üstav pamâtkové péèe a ochrany pflrody in Praque. The next step was to work out plans of a proper preservation of historical folk architecture. This in turn was followed by a Ienghty listing of structures. Czech conception concerning preservation of monuments is based on the following asumptions: 1° preservation of historical structures in situ, 2° urban complexes in form of reservations deserve particular attention and protection, 3° single structures can be transferred to Skansen museums only on special occasions. The authoress gives general information about the chosen complexes e.g. in the Roinov village (the eldest Skansen museum), in Vesely Kopec (the complex left in situ and supplied with structures removed from the .neightbourhood) in Koufim (the Skansen museum in the process of organization), in Zechovice (the village- reservation), in Doubnava (the village-reservation) etc. To end the report the authoress points to great difficulties which arise during the processes of execution and organization while constructing Skansen museums in Czechs.
