Military museum Lešany, Military museum in Lešany, Czech Republic
Military Museum Lešany is a repository of historical military vehicles in the Czech Republic, with over 700 exhibits spread across ten indoor halls and outdoor grounds. The collection includes tanks, cannons, motorcycles, armored vehicles, and other transport from various time periods.
The facility was founded in 1996 and preserves vehicles with histories reaching back to 1890. Through the collection, one can trace how military technology evolved during both World Wars and the years that followed.
The collection shows vehicles that played roles in defense efforts, offering insight into how the nation approached military technology over time. Walking through the halls, you notice how machinery and equipment changed across different periods.
The museum is open from June to September: on weekends, and in July and August every day except Mondays. Admission is free. The grounds are large, with ten halls, six roofed shelters and open-air displays, so allow several hours to walk the whole site.
Since 2021 the exhibition has included a section of the Berlin Wall. The museum also holds a T-72M3CZ prototype and a Toyota Hilux SCV among its modern vehicles. A Tank Day with moving displays closes the season each year.
