Museum of old machines and technologies - Žamberk, Czech Republic
The museum of old machines and technologies was established in Žamberk on the premises of the original Vonwiller textile factory. Here you can view dozens of historic steam engines, locomotives, stable engines, vintage cars, motorcycles and several bicycles, and above all period workshop equipment.
The museum gradually opens individual exhibitions, focusing on various branches of historical technology and its development. Exhibitions are open to the public during events and outside of these days by prior arrangement by telephone.
The only thing we missed in Žamberk was a proper exhibition of historical bicycles. This is what they are waiting for and as they write themselves: "If this area is close to you, we welcome cooperation with you at any level from external supporters to new members." So hopefully soon....
