About This Museum
Believe it or not, this elegant museum was once a grand hotel for aristocrats seeking the town's famous healing waters. Today, its stately halls invite you on a journey through the unique history of Karlovy Vary, far beyond just spa culture. You'll discover everything from the geological forces that created the hot springs to the artistry behind Bohemian glass. It’s a surprisingly rich and intimate look at what has shaped this enchanting corner of Bohemia.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the exquisite historical pharmacy, looking as if an 18th-century alchemist just stepped away. The museum also holds a stunning array of locally made porcelain and glass, showcasing the region's artistic genius. One of its most prized possessions is a rare Celtic torque, a whisper of the area's ancient past long before the first spa guest arrived.
