More than 2,500 people—twice as many as in 2022—visited the Museum of Knife-Making Traditions in Mikulášovice this summer. Founded by the Mikov company, the museum traces more than three centuries of cutlery production in the region known as “Bohemian Switzerland.” This year, in collaboration with military veterans, the museum also organized a special exhibition titled “Tango 23 Repetitor,” which tells the stories of Czech soldiers who participated in the UNPROFOR mission in the former Yugoslavia.
Visitors to the museum, located on the premises of the Municipal Information Center on the square in Mikulášovice (No. 19), can also visit the Mikov knife shop in the same building. In addition to a complete selection of knives, the shop offers specialty items available exclusively there.
