Muzeum Vysočiny Havlíčkův Brod, Regional museum in Havlíčkův Brod, Czech Republic.
Muzeum Vysočiny Havlíčkův Brod occupies several historic buildings in the city center and displays large collections of archaeological artifacts, glass, ceramics, and traditional textiles. The exhibitions are spread across different floors and rooms, creating a varied journey through regional heritage.
The museum was founded in 1874 as a school institution and grew into a comprehensive regional collection over time. It moved to different locations in the city before settling into its current buildings where it continues to preserve local heritage.
The museum is named after Karel Havlíček Borovský, a 19th-century journalist and writer whose personal items are displayed here. Visitors can see objects that reflect his role in shaping Czech public life and thought during that era.
The museum can be accessed through entrances at different historic buildings in the city center, each leading to various exhibition areas. It is helpful to allow enough time for a thorough visit and to explore the different sections at a leisurely pace.
The museum houses Štáfl's Bastion, a preserved corner tower from the old city fortifications. This restored tower was dedicated as a memorial to painter Otakar Štáfl in 1957 and stands as a tangible link to the city's medieval defenses.
