The Museum of East Bohemia in Hradec Králové is a contributory organization established by the Hradec Králové Region. It has a regional competence, but in many activities it crosses the borders of the region. It is one of the ten largest museums in the Czech Republic. The museum manages about 3 million collection items.

We operate the first and only museum in the world with the graphic works of Michael Heinrich Rentz (1698-1758), who lived and worked in Kuks from 1722 and is one of the European masters of Baroque book illustration.

We operate a town museum, which includes exhibitions of ethnography, the 1775 Peasant Uprising, mining in the Podkrkonoše region and Rtyň music. The expositions include an educational trail through mining monuments.

The first written record dates back to 1238. The town is situated at an altitude of 284 metres. We have a car camp, a museum, a theatre group, a kindergarten and a primary school and an athletic stadium. We organize sports and cultural events.

In the centre and yet in the silence of the inner courtyard, you will find an interactive private museum in the former burgher's house, dealing with coinage and the personality of Albrecht von Wallenstein. Try stamping your own coin on a replica of the historic mint. The courtyard offers pleasant seating under Jičín's first astronomical clock.

The museum is named after its founder Dr. Antonín Frič, a paleontologist, geologist and professor of zoology at Charles University, who was treated at the local spa. Here you will find natural curiosities and natural history exhibits. The museum is currently closed to the public.

We run a museum. We organize exhibitions. Permanent exhibitions are also available. The exhibition space includes a section dedicated to the activities of members of the Order of St. Francis in the city. The museum also includes a unique collection of carved figural beehives from the late 18th century.

An extensive collection where you can enjoy the oldest velocipedes, racing bikes from the 20th century, and famous bikes known from movies of recent years. Also on display are a variety of bicycle accessories, spare parts, trophies, period photographs and printed material.
