Opened in 1991, the Museum of Liptov Village in Pribylina is the youngest open air museum in Slovakia. Its origin is connected with the construction of the Liptovsky Mara Dam. Precious real estate which would have otherwise been flooded was relocated or reconstructed to create the museum.
The original plan for the museum assumes the construction of a complete village resembling the structural layout which was used in most of Liptov villages which were granted town privileges. Only the first part of the museum is opened today. In the middle of the village there is a square where markets can be held. In front of the Man or House from Parížovce there is an amphitheatre where various folk and historical programs are held. Each structure within the village depicts a different social-economic strata, from the poorest way of life to the richest.

The Majdiak family, from Liptovská Sielnica, were cottars. They did not own any land. Their home is situated on communal land without a fence or outbuildings. The whole family and working life is concentrated in one room. This is a sample of life at the lowest social economic strata.

The cottar's house from Černová, belonged to the Bačkor brothers and their families. One of them was a day laborer, the other one a village servant, who also worked as a bell ringer, a grave digger and as a drummer. The two houses from Likavka represent the lifestyles of farmers who supplemented their family's incomes by working as craftsmen.
The farmer's settlement from Liptovská Sielnica was inhabited by the Trunkvalter family. In the chamber of the house we can see a shoemaker's workshop. The father of the family performed this craft as supplementary work. Jan Lovich was a cartwrighter, from Liptovská Sielnica. His house represents a higher level lifestyle. It , contains better made furniture, textile of higher quality and the interior is furnished with glass, porcelain and books. Adjacent to the house is the cartwright's workshop complete with equipment and tools. The house from Liptovský Trnovec depicts an integrated closed settlement. Its dwelling and outbuildings are under a common roof. This structure was inhabited by the village mayor.

His office was also located in this "town house". Many of the mayor's personal items, such as a box for documents, a chest bound with iron, a wardrobe, are on display. He was also interested in bee keeping and so beehives and tools are located in one of the chambers of the house. Domestic animals, particularly the Hucul's race horses were bred in the stables.

The exposition of a village school with one class room and a teacher's flat from Valaská Dubová is very popular for visitors. The classroom is equipped with teaching aids which were typical for the first third of the 20th century. It offers space for children to learn subjects in an attractive way, using elements of folk culture. The structure and interior of the teacher's flat differs from the other farm houses because it served as a dwelling, study and work place. In the orchard by the school is the bee-house from Nižná Boca with the exhibition of historical bee-hives.

The museum of Liptov Village in Pribylina is more complete than other open air museums in Slovakia because this village includes structures of all social-economic levels. The Gothic Renaissance Manor House from Parižovce, for example, is the oldest gentry residence in Liptov. The house belonged to the Paris family and its heirs. The oldest Gothic part of the house dates back to the first third of the 14th Century. After 1848, the manor house was rebuilt in Renaissance style and served as a hunting chateau. The original mural paintings depicting a motif of a raven with a ring on a branch have been preserved.

The manor house has retained its contemporaneous character and the expositions within it contain samples of higher social-economic gentry lifestyle. These include the festive noble hall, a dining room, a bedroom and rooms, and salons / musical, yellow and hunting one/ used for thematic expositions.

The Manor House is one of the most valuable historical objects saved from the flooded territory which is now the Liptovská Mara. Built in 1858, the wooden manor house from Paludza depicts everyday life in a well off gentry family. The head of this household served as a government official. The house has an entrance hall, a kitchen, a gentlemen's salon, a large salon and a bedroom. Outside granaries, a barn, stables and a storage house for carriages and traps belonging to the settlement. Very attractive object in the museum is the Virgin Mary's Early Gothic Church from Liptovská Mara. According to the oldest available written record, the church dates back to 1288. The archeological findings, however, indicated that there was an older building under the foundation. This older building dates back to the 11th or 12th Century. The church served as the center of ecclesiastical administration within the Liptov region. The interior will is reconstructed as it was originally, and masses for all Christians are held there. The basement of the church serves as an exhibition hall.
