Dear Neila, There is a special group for curators of open-air museums, affiliated to ICOM: The Association of European Open-Air Museums. They may have a complete listing. The chairman is Mr. Christopher Zeuner, Director, The Weald and Downland Open Air Museum, Singleton, Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, PO18 0EU. A good introduction to the history of open-air museums is the chapter on Arthur Hazelius and Skansen in Edward P. Alexander's _Museum Masters_. This has a bibliography (which is now 15 years out of date). I will try and find some more recent ones for you.
