Museum on the demarcation line in Rokycany, Military museum in Rokycany, Czech Republic.
The Museum on the Demarcation Line occupies a former military facility just outside Rokycany, by road 183 toward Šťáhlavy. Its outdoor display holds over 150 mostly drivable vehicles from World War II and the postwar Czechoslovak and Czech armies: tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery, engineer and anti-aircraft equipment. Indoors, uniforms, weapons and documents cover the First Republic army, the Wehrmacht, British, US and Soviet forces.
The museum opened on 11 November 1997, Veterans Day, when General Jiří Šedivý cut the ribbon at 11:11, the hour of the First World War armistice. It is run by the Ground Forces Foundation of the Czech Army, with the Klub vojenského muzea spolek taking part since its founding.
The museum takes its name from the demarcation line near Rokycany, and its main event is BAHNA, a ground forces day held at the Strašice tankodrom. The site is run by the Ground Forces Foundation of the Czech Army together with the museum club, and a section covers the Holocaust and the Rokycany resistance.
The museum lies just outside Rokycany on road 183 toward Šťáhlavy, in a former military facility. The outdoor display of over 150 vehicles is uncovered, so dry weather is more comfortable. It is open daily from 1 April to 31 October, 9:00 to 18:00.
The museum is run by the Ground Forces Foundation of the Czech Army and its grounds hold over 150 pieces of mostly drivable military equipment. Among the exhibits are a Soviet T-34/85 tank, a SU-100 self-propelled gun and an OT-810 half-track.
