The Museum of Folk Art and Life of the Hutsulshchyna in the city of Kosiv is a collection of historical, artistic and ethnographic heritage of Ukrainian folk culture.

The Kosovar Museum of Folk Art as a department of the Kolomyia Museum of Folk Art of the Hutsulshchyna and Pokutya named after I. Kobrinsky was created in 1969. The collection of folk art by the famous Ukrainian artist E. Sahaidachny was the basis of the first museum expositions.

The Museum of the City of Kosovo is located in the house, which is an architectural monument of the XIX-XX centuries. Initially, this house belonged to the Jewish community ("wall of rabbis"). After the end of the Second World War, the building housed government institutions, and since 1990 - a museum.

To date, the museum's collection includes over 5 thousand exhibits - these are the best examples of folk arts and crafts of the Hutsul region of the XIX-XX centuries. Basically, the exhibits of the Museum of Folk Art and Life of the Hutsul Region are products made of ceramics, metal, leather and wood, Hutsul embroidery and clothing, as well as household and artistic items. Each exhibit carries a certain symbolic meaning. One of the most impressive collections of the museum is the products of the second half of the 19th century, which were created by such famous masters as P. Baranyuk, P. Koshak and A. Bakhmetyuk. In addition, Hutsul ceramics are represented in the collection of traditional Kosovar ceramics of the mid-20th century. The collection of carvings of the Shkriblyakiv family from the village of Yavorova, Kosovo region, is of great artistic value.
