The Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex (usually referred to as Etara) is an open-air museum 8 km south of Gabrovo in northern Bulgaria that presents the Bulgarian customs, culture and craftsmanship. It has an area of 7 ha and contains a total of 50 sites, including water installations and houses with craftsmen's workshops attached. As a whole, the complex's goal is to illustrate the architecture, way of life and economy of Gabrovo and the region during the Bulgarian National Revival.

The museum's construction started in 1963 under the direction and project of Lazar Donkov. The already existing Karadzheika water-mill built around 1780 was primarily reconstructed, with the other objects being constructed later. The complex was opened for visitors since 1964 and proclaimed a national park in 1967, as well as a monument of culture in 1971.
