Muzeum Velké Moravy
About This Museum
Tucked away in the historic city of Znojmo, the Muzeum Velké Moravy brings to life the powerful Slavic empire that laid the very foundations of the Czech state. You won't find dusty, forgotten relics here; instead, you're greeted by stunning reconstructions of 9th-century jewelry, weaponry, and even a chieftain's log-house that feels almost lived-in. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative, encouraging you to imagine the bustling Great Moravian hillforts that once dominated the region. It’s a deeply immersive experience that connects you directly to a pivotal, yet often overlooked, chapter of Central European history.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is arguably the collection of exquisite gilded and silvered jewelry, including intricate filigree earrings and gombiky buttons. Don't miss the full-scale reconstruction of a Slavic dwelling, complete with a clay oven and tools, which makes ancient daily life tangible.
