Filmový svět Zdeňka a Jana Svěrákových

About the museum

The exhibition is housed in the chateau at Čechy pod Kosířem in Haná, which belonged to the Silva-Tarouca family and is now administered by the Vlastivědné muzeum v Olomouci (Olomouc Regional Museum). It is devoted to the film work of the authorial duo of screenwriter and actor Zdeněk Svěrák and director Jan Svěrák.

Since April 2025, a revised and expanded section on the films Obecná škola, Kolja, Tmavomodrý svět, Vratné lahve, Tatínek, Po strništi bos and Betlémské světlo has been accessible. Visitors can see costumes, sets, scripts and also Zdeněk Svěrák’s typewriter, on which most of his famous plays were written.

The second part, called Pohádkový svět (Fairy-Tale World), was opened on 18 June 2025. It is aimed mainly at child visitors and presents the fairy-tale films Kuky se vrací and Tři bratři as an interactive walk-through exhibition. The museum states that the children’s section will be gradually expanded.
