MUSEUMS

The Pyšely Museum is located in the municipal house No. 34 on T. G. Masaryk Square. There is a permanent exhibition with a seasonal exhibition from April to November. There is an ethnographic and numismatic collection, archaeology and history of the village and its surroundings. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to the native of Pyšely, university professor Dr. Emanuel Radl.

In the museum there is a rare exposition of stoneware from Tyniec. There is a lookout tower in the prismatic Gothic tower, which is the summer residence of the protected big bat.

The castle was first mentioned in the time of Charles IV around 1358. Until the 18th century it was used by the owners as a residence. After that, however, it was used as a warehouse and gradually fell into disrepair. Today it is home to the Museum of Carriages, Harnesses and Horse Saddles, which offers you the chance to see carriages, harnesses and accessories from many Czech and foreign films and fairy tales. With a guide, you will see the 11th century cellar, which houses a period execution room. During the tour you will visit the saddle room of film period saddles and harnesses, carriage accessories and lamps. The sleigh from the famous Czech fairy tale The Three Nuts for Cinderella is on display here.

On 1400 m2 you will find a permanent exhibition, temporary exhibitions, a café with a children's corner, a conference room and a shop. Among the most interesting pieces you will find in the exhibition are the original racing and circuit specials. This is the largest comprehensive collection of sports cars in the world! In many cases, there are also unique prototype cars or government specials on display. Most of the cars can be seen in permanent displays and short-term exhibitions.
