The Talits Open-Air Wooden Folk Museum is located near Irkutsk. Almost all the buildings in the museum are made of wood, which is simple and mellow, vividly reproducing the living and life scenes of Russians and indigenous people around the 18th century. The entire museum is open-air, with ancient Russian wooden houses moved from nearby places, as well as winter churches, summer churches, shops, traditional wells, water wheels, and windmills for grinding flour on the side, just like a Russian town hundreds of years ago reappearing before your eyes.
