REGIONAL MUZEUM IN KOPŘIVNICE

The history of the Museum

Shortly after the World War Second current leadership of the town Kopřivnice helped to detach one of the historical buildings in Janáčkovy park on behalf of a museum. Here Emil Hanzelka - native of Kopřivnice - moved his private collections and started to form the exhibition of Laąské Museum.

On 24th August 1947 the Museum was first open for wide public. Products of local factory, which produced earthenware and artistic ceramics, composed major part of the exhibitions. There were also exhibited Tatra automobiles.

In 1953 it was decided to re-build the Museum to the Museum of automobile and ceramic industry. Great merit in the next development of the Museum has ex-champion Josef Veřmiřovský, who used to get parts and components, engines and discarded Tatra automobiles for the collections.

In 1967 (near to the Laąské Museum) was built new glass exhibition pavilion and the Museum was transfered under control of Tatra, national enterprise.

In 1997 the exhibits were moved to the new building in the centre of Kopřivnice.
