Muzeum Fojtství, Historical museum in Kopřivnice, Czech Republic
Description
Muzeum Fojtství occupies a stone building from the 18th century with exhibition rooms displaying carriage manufacturing and local crafts. The site includes a barn with preserved vehicles and a courtyard featuring a neo-Gothic stone structure.
History
The building was constructed in 1789 and long served as a local administrative center. Ignác Šustala, who later founded what became the Tatra automobile company, was born here in 1822.
Culture
The collections here show how carriage-making shaped daily life and trade in this town, with objects that reveal practical skills passed through generations.
Practical

Did you know?
The upper floor was once a grain storage area that is now used as an art gallery featuring rotating shows. This repurposing of the historic space makes it worth visiting beyond the carriage exhibits.
