ŠKODA MUSEUM (ŠKODA AUTO MUZEUM)

Museums

The city is closely connected with the famous Czech automobile brand. It all began in 1895, when two Czech automotive pioneers, Václav Laurin, a mechanic, and Václav Klement, a bookseller, manufactured the Slavia bicycle. Today, the factory is a large complex with the most modern production halls in the world. In this colossal museum you will discover the history of this company, which will please the nostalgic of the great era! The exhibition presents all or almost all Škoda models, since the creation of the company, in chronological order. In the first part you will discover elegant vans, the first models of Škoda Octavia or the fantastic Škoda Sport Montecarlo of 1936. There are also some trucks and rarer models. As the brand has become more well-known and popular in France in recent years, those of you who own a Škoda will be delighted to visit the second part of the exhibition, which includes all the models on three exhibition floors. The design work was particularly successful and contributes to the presentation of more than 340 exceptional vehicles that have been perfectly preserved and maintained. Finally, one room, which opens with the 1950 Škoda Sport, the first to take part in the Twenty-Four Hours of Le Mans, is dedicated to racing and rally models. Don't leave without asking to see the prototype room, which also contains some wonderful exhibits.
