Muzeum Nový Hrozenkov - Památník Antonína Strnadla
About This Museum
Tucked away in the heart of the Moravian Wallachian region, this museum feels more like stepping into a cherished family home than a formal institution. It's dedicated to Antonín Strnadel, a local son whose art beautifully captured the soul and struggles of this mountainous area. You'll find his evocative woodcuts and illustrations that tell stories of shepherd life and folk traditions, all displayed in a wonderfully intimate setting. The air itself seems thick with memories, making it a quiet refuge for anyone wanting to understand the true spirit of Hrozenkov.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the place is Strnadel's stunning woodcuts, particularly his illustrations for the book 'The Shepherd's Tale', which bring local legends to life with raw, emotional lines. Alongside his art, you can pore over his personal sketchbooks and tools, and discover exhibits on traditional Wallachian crafts like weaving, giving a full picture of the culture that inspired him.
Visitor Information
It's right on the main road in Nový Hrozenkov, easy to spot. Since it's a smaller museum, it's wise to check their opening hours in advance, especially if you're making a special trip out. A visit here doesn't take all day, but you'll want to linger.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional Wallachian wooden house, its dark timbered exterior and steep shingled roof are a perfect match for the folk art within.
