Museum of the Knife-Making Tradition
The Museum of Cutlery Traditions opened in 2012 and introduces visitors to the rich history of cutlery making and small-scale industrial production in the Bohemian Switzerland region.
Among the most interesting exhibits are over 2,500 historical knives from across the region - which was once nicknamed“the Czech Solingen” - as well as old cutlery-making machines, such as a traditional hand grinder. The exhibition also features an interesting display of historical office supplies and a screening of a period documentary film about the Mikov factory.
When visiting the museum, you can purchase Mikov products right on the spot - the store is located on the ground floor of the building.
Both the museum and the store are located on the premises of the Municipal Information Center on the town square in Mikulášovice:
