Prachatice Museum

Prachatice Museum is a regional museum in a South Bohemian town displaying local artifacts, traditional crafts, and historical photographs. The collections document how the community developed over time through these objects and images.

The museum occupies a Renaissance building from when the town flourished as a major point on the Golden Path salt trade route. This trading connection shaped the town's growth and prosperity during that era.

The exhibits display traditional clothing, tools, and household items from the Šumava region showing how people lived and worked. You get a sense of daily routines through objects that residents once used.

The museum runs educational programs, workshops, and guided tours throughout the year with information available in several languages. Check in advance about current exhibitions and opening hours before planning your visit.

The museum building features the largest sundial in the Czech Republic painted on its exterior wall near the town square. This dial serves as both a working timepiece and a striking local landmark.
