Set among fertile fields, the museum in Příkazy is unique testimony to the earthen architecture in the Haná region and the relationship between Man, the soil and nature – life-giver and nurturer.
There is a piece of countryside – Bolevec village green – hidden in the middle of the largest
prefabricated housing estate in Plzeň. Standing at its heart is the “U Matoušů” farmstead,
where there is always something going on. Its gates have opened to the public following
sensitive and comprehensive reconstruction and life is once again pulsating here and the
traditions of our ancestors are coming back to life.
Picturesque landscape and interesting buildings and events are your invitation to visit Vysočina Open Air Museum and the exhibitions at Veselý Kopec and the Betlém conservation area in Hlinsko.
The only open air museum in the north of Bohemia presents the life and culture of the original population of the former Sudetenland, its bond with the landscape, and the transformation of the area after the war.
Alive with dancing, singing, customs, ceremonies, crafts and everyday life all year round – this living museum in the heart of the mountains invites you to meet the local population in their everyday lives and festive moments.
