Journal Title: Architectural Studies - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Carpathian tourist traffic has been developing in its various forms since the 1960's. At first it was unorganized, after the area of the Bieszczady Mountains became popular and the renewing of the interest in timber architectural monuments – it evolved from the setting up of boy and girl scout camps in the direction of qualified tourism. Cultural tourism became its final form. The tourist trails that have been set up, including a timber architecture trail, and the introduction of the preserved timber Eastern Orthodox churches onto the UNESCO World Heritage Site List were the causative factors in stimulating this change. Unique structures found their place as parts of the open air museums, while the museums themselves started to pursue new methods of exhibition and marketing in order to raise awareness of what they have to offer. Within the main cities of the micro-region, museums that provide good conditions for the exhibition of the most precious collections of paintings, icons, sculpture and effects of folk art, were set up. We can also observe a consequent revitalization of historical structures, performed under the watchful eye of the conservation authorities. The exhibition of the region's culture could be rounded out and become more dynamic with the introduction of the promotion of the domestic multi-cultural traditions which were so characteristic of the area of Galicja and its current borderland, especially concerning the culture of the Lemkos.
