MUSEUMS

The Art Nouveau house No. 74 was built in 1904-5 according to the project of Marcel Dusil by the District Credit Union in Benešov. In 1992, an exposition dedicated to the history of the town and its surroundings, artistic monuments of the region and artists who worked here was opened to the public. Ethnography is an interesting feature. It presents mainly folk clothing and textiles, furniture, underpaintings on glass and folk sculpture.

The District Museum was already operating on the ground floor in the years 1950 - 1962 and returned in 1992, when it opened an exhibition on the history of Benešov and its surroundings on the first floor. In 2002, it added an exhibition on the second floor dedicated to the history of the Benesov military garrison.

The Konopiště Museum is primarily oriented towards a representative presentation of the history of the JAWA brand, both in terms of exhibits and historical materials (English, Czech and German video presentation with large-scale projection). Another main theme of the museum is the historical documentation of the racing achievements of Czech motorcycle brands in the 20th century (unique exhibits, trophies, historical documents).

One of the largest private automotive museums in the Czech Republic. It presents a comprehensive collection of vehicles that could be encountered on our roads in the second half of the last century. These are not only cars of Czechoslovak origin, but also cars from the entire former Eastern Bloc.
