Museum on the demarcation line in Rokycany, Military museum in Rokycany, Czech Republic.
The Museum on the Demarcation Line is a military museum in Rokycany that focuses on 20th-century vehicles. It displays around 190 tanks, artillery pieces, and armored vehicles across indoor and outdoor spaces, with eight exhibition rooms containing documentation about the region's military history.
The museum preserves equipment from World War II and vehicles from the Czechoslovak People's Army, including a 1944 T-34 tank. This collection documents two decades of military history, spanning from occupation through the Cold War era.
The name references the frontier line that divided Czechoslovakia during the Cold War, and this historical context shapes how the exhibits are presented. Visitors can see how this division affected daily life in the region and what role the military played in this divided nation.
The museum sits about five minutes from the D5 highway and is easy to reach by car. Many vehicles are displayed outdoors, so visiting during dry weather makes for a more comfortable experience.
This collection is one of the largest privately-owned collections of operational military vehicles in Central Europe, and many have appeared in international film productions. This film connection makes the collection particularly interesting for enthusiasts who want to spot real movie props.
