About
Quick facts: Wander through cozy period rooms and you'll stumble on an impressive collection of Bohemian folk costumes and hand-painted furniture that makes the past feel tactile and lived-in. Curators keep an uncanny assortment of puppets, medieval weaponry, and delicate Baroque paintings, some pieces so small you'll miss them unless you lean in close.
Highlights: Ask a guide to show you the tiny 19th-century puppet stage tucked behind a glass door, where 24 hand-carved marionettes still wear faded costumes stitched with gold thread and smell faintly of camphor. On selected afternoons a curator will wind the stage and perform a three-minute scene, the wooden joints clicking like distant rain while a single gas lamp throws ochre light across painted faces.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones and narrow indoor staircases.
- Ask staff about temporary exhibits on local crafts, often displayed on upper floors with extra context.
- Photography without flash is often allowed in permanent galleries, confirm the policy at the desk before you shoot.
- Pair the visit with the castle complex or a guided town walk to place exhibits in the wider historical setting.
