The ethnographic Park Museum “Ethnomir” (Ethno World) is an unusual project: on the territory of 140 hectares one can find a small model of the diverse planet of people. The territory is divided into 6 different ethno areas; each of them recreates a national culture of a particular country or geographic area: "Russian Compound", "Ukraine and Belarus", "Central Asian Countries", "Museum of the Russian stove," "North, Siberia and Far East" and "South Asia Countries".

Here you can see an authentic Russian stove, visit the museum of Samovars and flat-iron dream about the friendly past in the museum of the USSR, admire an impressive collection of dolls from different nations, and explore the nuances of honey extraction in the museum of beekeeping. If just visiting the samples of typical buildings with completely original interiors seems somehow of an ordinary activity, you will be given the chance to stay in thematic ethno hotels and taste different national cuisines. In addition each ethno area holds traditional events: folk dances, performances, carnivals. The exhibition center "Ulitsa Mira" (street of the world) features 43 national pavilions, where cooking and handicraft master-classes, as well as exhibitions are being held. A folk crafts market is also located here. Guided tours are available. The open-air park of Ethno World is highly recommended to visit. It is an area dedicated to the peoples of Siberia and the Far East and displays 40 house types of indigenous North communities: chums, yurts, log cabins, sroobs, balagans etc. In addition to numerous excursions, workshops and games organized around each of the ethno areas, sports grounds, rock-climbing wall, rope town, all-terrain vehicles, Segway, golf-buggy, and husky riding among many other options are available.
