Dear friends.

The exhibitions of the Museum of bicycles Boskovštejn are mostly in the ownership of the operator of the museum. Part of the exhibition is provided from the collections of the legal entities or individuals.

Here we bring some basic informations about our museum of cycling. It is located in Boskovštejn, in a gothic fortress from 1550, in a baroque mill and surroundings. The area is large and our aim is not only to show our visitors the history of a bicycle but also to enlighten about different evolutional periods and also about new trends in development of road bikes and cycling. The evolution is now spinning in circles and it is trying many dead-ends or it is trying to rescue ideas 100 years old.

In time, the area of the museum will be extended for a bicycles rental and mainly for a test track to try new bike models, electrical bicycles on a pump track or a bike trail. Accommodation and restaurant will be also included…but that is in plan for 2016.

So what can you expect in our museum? We are not afraid to say, that our museum of bicycles is the broadest in the world. It follows the evolution of a bicycle from its beginning in 1817 up to today.

The exhibits are borrowed from several private collections worlwide and we were also able to assemble a few exhibitions, that are unique in the world.
