Museum "Hata-Staya"

The private museum, founded in 2014, is located in an authentic century-old house that impresses with its atmosphere. One of the main locations of the museum is a staya – a traditional Hutsul cheese factory with a cauldron over an open hearth. In such huts-herds, shepherds make Polony cheeses, including Budz, Vurdu, and Brynza, in the Polony Mountains throughout the summer.

The interior of the house consists of a corridor and two rooms where authentic clothes and household items are collected. In the oldest part of the building, the room with the stove, embroidered shirts, towels, traditional dishes and other Hutsul household items are displayed.

This museum is not just a place where you can touch history, but also an active platform for learning about Hutsul traditions and crafts.
