Museum of the Bohemian Paradise in Turnov

Museum of the Bohemian Paradise in Turnov, Regional museum in Turnov, Czech Republic.

The Museum of the Bohemian Paradise occupies a building on Skálova Street in Turnov, donated to the institution in 1927 by factory owner and patron Josef Boháček. Its regional collections cover archaeology, ethnology, mineralogy, history and art, with particular strength in the history of precious-stone working in the Turnov area. The permanent exhibition includes Mikoláš Aleš's 1895 oil painting Pobití Sasíků pod Hrubou Skálou, measuring 10 by 8.5 metres.

The institution was established in 1886 as one of the first museums outside Prague and received its permanent home through Josef Bohacek's support. This founding made it an early center for preserving regional history.

The collection displays works by students and teachers of the Turnov Jewellery School, including traditional crafts and regional folk art. These pieces reflect how jewelry making became central to local identity.

The museum welcomes visitors most weekdays, with shorter hours during colder months than in summer. It helps to check the exact opening times before your visit, as they shift with the seasons.

The museum's best-known single object is Mikoláš Aleš's oil painting Pobití Sasíků pod Hrubou Skálou from 1895, measuring 10 by 8.5 metres and counted among the largest paintings in Europe. It hangs in the permanent exhibition, and a research library holds local writings, including records by Josef Dlask.
