Національний центр народної культури "Музей Івана Гончара" створено в 1993 році з ініціативи народного художника України І. Гончара, співзасновника Українського Товариства охорони пам'яток історії та культури, та одного з найбільших у світі скансенів – Музею народної архітектури та побуту України. Музей розміщений у старовинній будівлі – пам'ятці архітектури XVIII століття. Експозиція заснована на приватній колекції І. Гончара, який за радянських часів розшукував та збирав високохудожні твори українського народного мистецтва, а також роботи професійних живописців, які через ідеологічні причини не могли потрапити до державних музеїв. Представлено велику колекцію ікон XVI-XVI ст., тканин, кераміки, музичних інструментів.
