Małys Homestead

Drewniana chałupa kryta gontem i słomą, z niebieskimi oknami.

It consists of an 1869 wooden house and a partly brick utility building brought to the open-air museum from Chyżne. The cottage has a ‘wyżka’ and a boarded ‘przedwysce’, and is covered with a shingled roof and straw. Traces of historical refurbishments are visible, for example different door heights and a high ceiling with traces of the former chimneyless smoke removal system. The low kitchen stove was also rebuilt, a chimney was added and the moss in the black room was covered with clay and painted white with the beams. The house is a good illustration of transformations taking place in peasant cottages as of the second half of the 19th century. In addition to the typical furnishings, the room contains various examples of tapestries characteristic for Orawa: some of them embroidered, other painted or printed. They were an obligatory decorative feature of homes in Orawa and often included various sentences, sayings, proverbs and folk wisdom.
