Museum of Cats - Lnáře – Museums and galleries in the Czech Republic 1.

Location: Lnáře, South Bohemia

In 2005 a very rare, but kind museum was founded in the castle of Lnáře: Museum of cats. It's the only museum of its kind in the Czech Republic, but you may not find another one in Europe too. The founder of this strange museum is Alena Vaníčková, the member of the family who owned the castle.

In the museum visitors find a lot of interesting things about the cats, and the history of their coexistence with humans about for four thousand years. We can see exhibition about the ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt where the cat was worshiped as a goddess. In the museum a lot of statues, cat figures like ceramics, porcelain, wooden cats, a copy of a cat mummy from Thebes, and so many other interesting can be seen. If you do have any question about the history of cats, just visit this Museum! The museum is open from May to September, mainly on weekends and holidays from 10 to 16 o'clock.
