The museum continues the tradition of the local museum association, which was founded in 1905. It provides professional research and collection activities, especially in the fields of archaeology, history and ethnography.
The exposition of the museum presents steam locomobiles, tractors, stable engines produced in Czech, Moravian and world factories. The largest exhibit is a twenty-eight ton steam plough.
The synagogue is operated by the Museum of the Boskovice Region. It is a baroque building from 1639 with later modifications. Its vaults are decorated with Hebrew liturgical texts. The tour includes an exposition of the History of Jews in Boskovice and the possibility to visit the Jewish ritual bath - mikveh.
The museum exposition in three rooms on the first floor of the building shows the richness of the forms of Jewish quarters in our country, the historical reasons for their creation, the reasons for their location and situating, their typical manifestations in terms of urban, architectural and functional aspects.
We collect technical items related to the local area. We concentrate on military and historical technology, woodworking equipment, caving and mining. There is a campground for tents and RVs on the museum grounds.
Capturing the history of the community with a focus on the firefighting movement and the manufacturing program of the former firefighting equipment factory. Exhibits show the evolution of firefighting equipment from the manufacture of hand-powered engines, to horse-drawn sprinklers, to modern powerful machines with centrifugal pumps.
We offer tours of a declassified bunker from the 1970s. The former military facility served as a strategic telephone exchange. It used to house communications cables. The flagship cable was designed to carry up to 1,920 calls at a time and provide communication between Warsaw Pact countries in wartime. The building was top secret.
We operate a visitor centre with interactive indoor and outdoor displays and a 3D cinema. We have special programmes for schools, nurseries and organised groups.
