Moravské Zemské Muzeum
About This Museum
If you want to understand the very soul of Moravia, you start here, at the Moravské Zemské Muzeum in Uherské Hradiště. It's not just a building full of old things; it's where the stories of our land, from the Great Moravian Empire right up to the folk traditions that still echo in the villages, are kept alive. You can almost hear the clink of glassmakers' tools and smell the yeast from the breweries when you walk through. It feels less like a museum and more like a long, fascinating conversation with your grandmother about where you truly come from.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the stunning Slavic jewellery – intricate gold and silverwork that speaks of immense wealth and skill. Then there's the famous 'Věstonická Venuše', that remarkable prehistoric figurine found not far from here. The folk life section is wonderfully alive with vibrant traditional costumes and painted furniture that still feels like it belongs in a cozy cottage.
Visitor Information
It's right on Velehradská street, easy to find and a perfect refuge on a rainy afternoon. Check their hours before you pop in, as they sometimes change for holidays.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a dignified presence, a fine example of late 19th-century architecture that commands respect without being overly grand.
