There is just one open-air museum in Switzerland. It's the
"Freilichtmuseum Ballenberg" located in CH-3855 Brienz.

They show several crafts like traditional woodworking, basketmaking
and blacksmithing. There are also many local museums which show
traditional woodworking. If you need any names, please contact me
