The transportation feature that is indisputably the most typical for Česká Třebová is its railway. The museum’s exhibition devoted to this mode of transport informs visitors about the history of railway travel since the mid-19th century, with an emphasis on the period of the first Czechoslovak Republic.
moreThe exhibition presents the sculptor František Formánek (1888-1964), primarily as an inventor of flying machines. An approximate reconstruction of Formánek’s studio in Prague, where he stayed after his studies at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, is on public display here.
moreThe exhibition describes the birth and development of the popular three-wheeler OS-KAR (later renamed Velorex), and the life stories of its designers, the Stránský brothers: František and Mojmír. Visitors will find a nearly complete development line of the three-wheelers from the prototype through Velorex 16/250, 16/175, 16/350, and 435-O.
moreThe connection between water transport and the town of Česká Třebová is little known. It would have become a reality if the Danube - Oder - Elbe project had been implemented, i.e. waterworks interconnecting these three big European rivers had been constructed.
