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.

During the year you can see exhibitions on various themes in the museum. The current offer can be found on the website. The museum also manages a permanent exhibition of medicine and organises a visit to the Church of St. Peter and Paul with a view of Semily from the church tower from June to September.

Visit our historical and ethnographic permanent exhibition. The exhibition is ethnographic, about the life and history of Horní Branná and Valteřice, about life under the mountains.

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.
