regional museum litoměřice

We visited the Museum located in the old Town Hall in the main square whilst on a search for information about Ferdinand Blumentritt and Dr Jose Rizal.Our visit was met with very interesting facts but the main purpose of the review is to mention the fantastic staff at the museum who go out of their way to offer assistance and encouragement. A special mention needs to be made to one member of staff who touched our hearts so much.

In the museum that you can find on the main square of Litomerice you can find two main attractions: the exhibition with items from archeological excavations, medieval armors, maps of Litomerice from 1800s through the 1950s, some uniforms and household pieces commemorating the times of the Nazi occupation and annexation of Sudetenland and basically everything that the small town could contribute to the museum. You will be most likely alone in the museum with plenty of time and opportunity to look around and make your discoveries. There are short English descriptions of exhibited goods and the staff of the museum speaks Czech.The other interesting feature of the museum is to see the staff and eventually locals there: even 4 people can be there supervising 0 visitor and doing almost nothing: resembling the "good old" or the "cursed" (depending on the person you ask) Socialistic/Communistic times with unlimited time and no obligation or rush to make anything better or to make any profit on anything.The entrance fee is 25 CZK, just a little bit more expensive than a toilet break in central Prague...If in Litomerice for half a day, it is definitely worth to take a look.
