The Tvarůžků Museum was opened in 1994 on the site of the original tvarůžků factory.

The exhibition is spread over nine rooms, where you will learn about the beginnings of production, about the Wessels family, who were at the birth of this delicacy, and about the changes in production from manual processing to today's modern technology.
