About this audio guide
This guide to the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine, the open-air village at Pyrohiv on Kyiv's southern edge, starts with a count that never agrees with itself. It follows the cottages dismantled in villages across Ukraine and rebuilt on this hill, and what changed for them when the Soviet Union fell. Then it turns to a September night in two thousand and six, and a house from the Lviv region. Best heard on the paths among the thatched cottages.
