Museum of the Bohemian Paradise in Turnov, Regional museum in Turnov, Czech Republic.
The Museum of the Bohemian Paradise is a regional museum housed in a Neo-Renaissance building near Cesky Raj Square. It displays geological specimens, precious stones, and artifacts that document the area's history and traditions.
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 underground Treasury displays stone cutting and jewel making methods that developed over centuries in this region. Visitors can observe how these specialized skills were transmitted across generations.
Opening Hours: May-September Tuesday-Sunday 09:00-17:00; October-April Tuesday-Sunday 09:00-16:00
