The Connemara Heritage Centre is an open-air museum near Clifden, County Galway, in the Connemara region, Ireland. The Centre introduces the history of the area from prehistoric times to the foundation of the Irish Free State in 1922.
The centre's attractions include audiovisual and history presentations, as well as outdoor exhibits including reconstructions like the reconstructions of the crannóg, ring fort and a clochaun give an insight into life in ancient times.
The Open-Air Museum of Ethnography is located 3 km south-west from Tbilisi at the Turtle Lake. The museum is named after the Georgian ethnographer who founded the museum. It represents a kind of a Georgian village where every house and every estate are a reflection of the different eras of Georgian history. It is 65 hectares large and is arranged in eleven zones, displaying around 70 buildings, starting from the Bronze Age up to the early 20th century.
One of the most famous houses is a reconstruction of an ancient Georgian dwelling - "darbazi", which looks like if it is dug into the earth surface; the roof resembles a beehive. This type of structure was used from the Bronze Age until the early 20th century AD. There are also an early Christian "Sioni" basilica from Tianeti and a 6th-7th century familial burial vault with sarcophagus.
On the weekend of October 26 and 27, young and old are welcome at the OER weekend in the Hunebed Center. This weekend the Prehistoric Park is filled with prehistoric ancient people who bring the past to life.
