Overview
Located in the peaceful Kinský Garden, this museum is housed in a grand Empire-style villa built between 1827 and 1831 by architect Heinrich Koch. The site originally served as a summer residence for the Kinsky family before becoming an ethnographic museum in 1901. Today, it preserves 200,000 items that illustrate the traditional folk culture of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia. Visitors can explore a permanent exhibition of historic artifacts or attend monthly events that feature live performances from regional folk ensembles, lectures, and occasionally local food tastings. Beyond the exhibits, the institution offers active engagement through weekend handicraft workshops and a seasonal dance course that runs from October to May.
