wealthy Spisz household. Ethnographic interiors – end of the 19th century up to 1930s.
The oldest elements of the Korkosz Croft are the village house and stables built in the end of the 19th century by Alojzy Chyżny. In 1919, a “great room" and a cell were added to the building, followed by stone stables and a carriage house. Until the 1950s, the household was owned by the Korkosz family, who later emigrated to Czechoslovakia and handed over the ruined buildings to the State Treasury. In1981-1983, a Branch of the Tatra Museum – the Museum of Spisz’ Folk Culture was established. The interior houses an ethnographic exhibition, presenting a wealthy Spisz household from the inter-war period. It displays numerous household appliances (wooden vessels, quern-stones), a carriage, baskets, milk cans, tools for flax treatment, a loom and folk clothing. In one of the rooms, there are also sculptures and photos of the Korkosz family. One of the most interesting exhibits is a wooden tool used for lifting houses in order to replace the brick underpinning.
