Múzeum kočiarov Pavla Baláža
About This Museum
People don't just come to this museum to see old carriages; they come to step directly into a fairytale. Tucked away in the quiet village of Veľká Lomnica, this place is the life's work of Pavel Baláž, and his passion is palpable the moment you walk in. You're not looking at dusty relics behind ropes but at exquisite works of art, each with a story waiting to be discovered. It feels less like a formal museum and more like being granted access to a master's private, magical workshop.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly the breathtaking coronation carriage, a gilded masterpiece that looks ready to whisk away royalty. But I was equally charmed by the elegant sleighs and the intricate details on a simple postal coach, imagining the journeys they've witnessed.

Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, unassuming building that feels perfectly at home in its village setting, it’s humble on the outside which makes the treasures inside all the more spectacular.
