The Open Air Museum Schwerin-Mueß is situated in the former fishing and farming village of Mueß, which was incorporated into the city of Schwerin in 1936. This location provides a unique historical context for the museum, as it is directly on the southern shore of Lake Schwerin. The museum's setting in a traditional village environment enhances the authenticity of the exhibits and provides a real sense of the rural life in Mecklenburg from the 17th to the early 20th century.
