The 4 best companies: Museums in Kopřivnice

The Birthplace of František Palacký offers a permanent exhibition dedicated to the life and work of this important historian and politician, together with the history of the village of Hodslavice, where Palacký was born.

The museum was opened on 17 November 2021 in the reconstructed building of the former Tatra foundry and presents a unique collection of 81 Tatra trucks and chassis on an area of more than 5,000 m2. The core is the original collection of Jiří Hlach, a private collector, which Tatra acquired in 2015.

The Slovak Strela Depository is a unique place where the legendary Slovak Strela engine set is exhibited. It can be found opposite the entrance to the Tatra Truck Museum in Kopřivnice.

The current exposition of the museum (formerly called the Tatra Technical Museum) consists of a typologically compact collection of passenger cars, with which the Tatra automobile company made its mark in the world history of automotive engineering in the 20th century.
