Třebechovice Museum of Nativity Scenes

The collections of the Třebechovice Museum of Nativity Scenes include more than four hundred historical and modern nativity scenes made from various materials and built in different regions of the Czech Republic. You can see the interesting development of various forms in the history of making nativity scenes. Christmas in the Czech Republic would not be complete without a lit Christmas tree. However, nativity scenes were built in families long before trees were decorated. Before Christmas, a model of the Bethlehem manger, where Jesus Christ was born according to the Bible, is built.
