Městské muzeum Žamberk, Municipal museum in Žamberk, Czech Republic.

Městské muzeum Žamberk is housed in the Kateřina Hospital building, adapted in 1975, and holds almost 18,000 objects. Its permanent exhibition covers the history of Žamberk and its notable figures, plus folk and artistic crafts of the region. Displays include the Erxleben neo-Gothic pharmacy, Jedlička's mechanical nativity scene and a puppet theatre.

The museum was founded in 1911 after the town displayed its collections at an ethnographic exhibition in Prague, leading to storage in the local town hall. The growth of the collection reflects growing interest in preserving regional craft traditions from that period onward.

The museum's name honours Eduard Albert, the Žamberk-born professor whose enthusiasm after the 1895 Prague ethnographic exhibition pushed the town toward founding a collection. A museum society bearing his name was formed on 12 September 1941 with some 80 members, among them the surgeon Arnold Jirásek and the writer Dominik Filip.

The museum is a department of the town of Žamberk, so its displays are arranged across several buildings rather than one: the permanent exhibition moved into the adapted Kateřina Hospital building in 1975, and the Diviš cottage on the edge of town opened as a branch in 1965. Ask at the main building which sites are currently accessible before setting out.

The museum's collections grew from about 18,000 objects, and more than 1,100 items were restored over a fifteen-year period. During the Second World War, from 14 July to 15 August 1940, the museum's curators organised an exhibition of Žamberk iconography in the trade school building on Nádražní street, showing over 500 works by 100 artists.
