Západočeské muzeum v Plzni, příspěvková organizace branches

The West Bohemian Museum in Pilsen is one of the largest museum institutions in the Czech Republic in terms of the scope of its historical, art and natural science collections. At the same time, it is a centre of scientific work in a number of scientific disciplines.

We run an exhibition of puppetry from the beginning to the present. We offer travelling theatres, Skoda theatre, family puppet theatres and others. We organize children's birthday parties.

The museum has exhibitions documenting life in Rokycany, local nature and industry.

The Ethnographic Museum underwent extensive building reconstruction during the years 2021 - 2023. Two exhibitions are currently open. There are also short-term exhibitions.

We operate a cultural technical monument from the 16th century offering tours. Every year in May, the "Hamernica Days" are held here with demonstrations of the work of artistic blacksmiths and an accompanying programme. We also sell souvenirs such as horseshoes, bells, forged nails and wedges.

Specialise in old prints and regional literature. We offer document rental, photocopying and scanning. We provide photo printing, access to information resources and photocopying services. We organise tours, lectures and training sessions.
