Jan Amos Comenius Museum

The Jan Amos Comenius Museum in Uherský Brod focuses on the life and ideas of this influential teacher and philosopher. Its rooms display manuscripts, letters, and personal objects that show how he rethought education and learning methods.

The museum began in the late 1800s when the Czech region wanted to strengthen its cultural identity. After the Second World War it developed into a modern institution, taking the name of the famous teacher as a way to honor his legacy.

The museum displays how Comenius shaped thinking about learning and childhood in ways that still matter to schools today. Visitors can see objects and writings that show why his ideas changed education across Europe.

The museum sits in the center of town and is easy to reach on foot. Check opening hours before visiting since it does not operate every day of the week.

The museum does more than display objects; it conducts research and works with schools and universities in other countries. This work makes it a place where different teaching traditions meet and exchange ideas.
