Třebechovické muzeum betlémů, Nativity scene museum in Třebechovice pod Orebem, Czech Republic

The Třebechovice Nativity Museum holds over 400 nativity scenes and their parts from all regions of Czechia, made of various materials. Its best-known piece is the nearly 7-metre-long mechanical Probošt Nativity, displayed as a separate exhibition. Since September 2013 the museum has occupied a new building on the northeast corner of Masaryk Square, with an irregular ground plan and one to three storeys under a stepped flat roof.

The museum was founded in 1925 by Vilem Koles and grew from donations by citizens who contributed their nativity scenes. Over time it became a specialized institution dedicated to preserving and documenting this handcraft tradition.

Nativity scenes hold deep roots in Czech folk tradition and remain important fixtures in many households during the Christmas season. The collection reveals how different regions developed their own craftsmanship styles and how this art form passed through generations.

The museum stands in the northeast corner of Masaryk Square, about 100 metres east of the town hall and 100 metres west of St Andrew's Church. The building has an irregular plan and stepped heights of one to three storeys, with a square tower-like section on the square. The Probošt Nativity has its own separate exhibition.

The Probošt Nativity Scene, almost 7 metres long, has been a National Cultural Monument since 1999 and forms a separate exhibition. The museum tried to buy it as early as 1934 without success; it entered the collection in 1970 (1972 according to German sources).
