The Podlasie Museum of Folk Culture, also called the open-air museum in Jurowce, covers an area of 27 hectares. It presents historic nineteenth-century wooden architecture from the Białystok, Łomża and Suwałki regions. The facility is located near the northern border of the city of Białystok and is still being expanded. New buildings are regularly transported, and some of them undergo renovation.
There are about 40 buildings in the museum. Visitors can admire, among others, two historic koźlak windmills, a forester's lodge, wooden cottages and houses, a fire station from 1926, as well as a nineteenth-century landowner's court from the Great Beaver. The interiors of the buildings have been traditionally furnished. There are permanent and temporary exhibitions devoted to, among others former agricultural tools, rural vehicles, ornamentation of wooden architecture and beekeeping.
Examples of so-called small architecture were placed between the buildings: wells, crosses, and shrines. In order for visitors to the open-air museum to feel like in a real, nineteenth-century village, most of the facilities were surrounded by gardens, vegetable gardens and herbal gardens.
A great attraction for children is a wooden mini playground. The open-air museum also hosts numerous outdoor events and museum lessons designed mainly for children
