Regionalni Muzeum (Regional Museum), Cesky Krumlov

The Regional Museum is housed in a historic building that dates back to 1650-1652. Originally, this building served as a Jesuit seminary, a center for the Jesuit order's educational activities. However, in 1773, the Jesuit order was abolished, and subsequently, the seminary was discontinued as well by a decree issued in 1777. The building then underwent various educational uses, first as the main German school (Haupschule) and later as a German municipal gymnasium, remaining so until 1945.

The current appearance of the building is the result of a reconstruction effort that took place from 1970 to 1980. After this reconstruction, the Regional Museum established its workplace and exhibition rooms within the premises.

Today, the Regional Museum in Cesky Krumlov is home to several remarkable exhibits. Among its treasures are a detailed ceramic model portraying the historical core of Český Krumlov, depicting the city's idealized form around the year 1800. Additionally, visitors can explore the preserved interior of a Baroque Jesuit pharmacy dating back to the mid-17th century. The museum offers a wide range of collections and permanent exhibitions covering archaeology, the history of arts and crafts, ethnography, and historical pharmacy. Moreover, the museum hosts various temporary exhibitions throughout the year, making it a dynamic and engaging cultural destination for visitors interested in exploring the history and heritage of Cesky Krumlov and its surrounding region.
