The costumes, textiles, leather goods, folk art and crafts, musical instruments, and carved wooden furniture, cooking, and domestic utensils, that you see in the exhibits are the same ones that you see around the town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Zakopane\u2019s locals don\u2019t dress in their traditional costumes for tourists, they don\u2019t decorate their homes and restaurants in a rustic style to charm visitors, and the new gabled wooden houses going up all over Zakopane with their carved decorative turrets, doors and balconies, aren\u2019t intended to create a highlander Disneyworld.

Built predominantly from wood, perhaps with stone on the ground level, the houses boast sloped roofs, and decorative balconies, windows, and doors, with pretty carved or cut out motifs that are the same as those you see on the costumes and textiles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Definitely check it out if you are in Zakopane!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Do nast<\/strong><strong>\u0119pnego razu&#8230; <\/strong>(Till next time&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s so refreshing about a visit to The Tatra Museum (Muzeum Tatrza\u0144skie)\u00a0in Zakopane, in the southern Tatra Mountains in Poland, is that the artefacts on display don\u2019t belong to some long-past culture or dying traditions.
