Planning your visit
Cesky Krumlov is a small Bohemian town wrapped in a bend of the Vltava beneath a large castle, UNESCO-listed and almost entirely preserved from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The wax museum works with that setting, presenting figures and scenes from South Bohemian history — the Rozmberk lords who ruled the town, medieval crafts, an alchemist's workshop of the kind Rudolf II's Prague patronised, and historical personalities.
The alchemy material has genuine local relevance: the Rozmberks employed alchemists, and Bohemia was a centre of the practice during the period when it sat somewhere between mysticism and early chemistry.
It is a modest attraction rather than a major museum, and it functions as a wet-weather or evening option in a town whose main appeal is walking the streets and the castle.
