If you are interested in this phenomenon world-wide, try the Association
of European Open-Air Museums - its affiliated to ICOM, so try the ICOM
homepage.
 
ICMAH (The International Committee of Museums and Collections of
Archaeology and History) is compiling a survey of site museums, with a
definition which includes reconstructed buildings.  The US listing is
very sparse - the only site museums in the US listed so far are the
Buffalo National River, Cabrillo, Canyon du Chelly, Grand Canyon,
Klondike, Port Reyes, Southeast Archeology Centre, Wupatki.
The listings are much fuller for other countries, particularly
francophone.  Contact: Michel Colardelle, Directeur du muse'e national
des artes et traditiones populares, 6, rue du Mahatma Gandhi, 75116
