A house consists of 3 rooms with the last one being added from the back part of pitvor. It was built on a relatively flat terrain in 1884. Once again, it possesses the typical architecture signs of buildings of this area: the log walls, the saddle roof covered with home-made shingles. The current exposition features the life of a Kysuce tinker. A craft of tinkering was once one of the most spread houseworks in Kysuce. To practise the craft, tinkers needed wire and tin. They did not only mend tools and metal pots, but also produced spoonholders, hangers, sieves, ladles, mousetraps, ironing boards, etc. These craftsmen usually carried all the tools on their backs in a hamper. The Kysuce tinkers travelled widely and became wellknown all over the world - in America, Asia, Australia, Europe.
