The museum opened in 2003 as a branch of the Museum of Vysočina in Jihlava, housed in the Schumpeter House at Rooseweltova 462. The building belonged to the Schumpeter family, whose textile businesses prospered in Třešť, and economist Joseph Alois Schumpeter was born there in 1883.
Each year from 26 December to 2 January, local families open their homes on the Betlémská cesta (Crib Trail), showing nativity scenes made by a family member or bought.
