Running a museum with an exhibition of the history of the town and surrounding region. Showing the life of earlier generations, their culture, agriculture and crafts. There is also an exhibition of nativity scenes.

The Museum was founded in 1891 in connection with preparations for the Czechoslovak Ethnographic Exhibition in Prague. The director of the girls' schools, Jáchym Metelka, was responsible for its establishment.

In the museum you will see the life in the Podkrkonoší region of our ancestors - agriculture, individual crafts such as: weaving, butter making, shoemaking, Ponikel ornaments and other glass products, carpentry, beekeeping, brush making, carriage and lace gallery and more. The collection focuses on the skill and artistry of the common people.

The memorial was established in 1957 in the grounds of Bran Castle as a reminder of his stay in the Podkrkonoší region before he left for Lešno in Poland. The memorial is a frequent place of visits of teachers, Czech and foreign tourists.

In addition to a demonstration of the weaving craft on two hand looms, it is still possible to look into the secrets of the woodturning workshop equipped with a woodworking lathe and a set of tools from the late 19th century. A moving nativity scene by the Škrabálek brothers from the early 20th century is a testament to folk art.

We run a railway museum. Our collections include historic locomotives, carriages and other railway artefacts. Our aim is to preserve and bring the fascinating world of railways to all visitors.
