A DRIVE INTO THE PAST

Started in 1895, Škoda is one of the longest-established automotive brands globally, and the Škoda Museum showcases the brand’s storied history. The museum is set on the site of the original production halls where the company manufactured cars until 1928. Right next to this site, the biggest and most modern of the company’s plants continues the brand’s success story, producing new Škoda vehicles daily. In addition, the Škoda Museum is a regular host of exhibitions, events, and concerts year-round.

The Škoda Museum showcases the brand’s story in a project designed to invite visitors on an exciting interactive multimedia journey through Škoda Auto’s history, using a 1,800 m² exhibition area in historical production halls to feature vehicles, films, photographs and documents. Moreover, the Museum boasts a new multifunction conference centre – the Laurin & Klement Forum – and the Václav Café/Restaurant, a modern facility set in a historic venue.

A host of eye-catching exhibits

The Škoda Museum collection contains about 340 exhibits, primarily series-production passenger vehicles, rally cars, prototypes, dozens of engines, four motorcycles and a legendary bicycle – the Slavia of 1899. The first car produced by the company, the Voiturette, and the Ferat, a car that appeared in the Ferat Vampire movie, is part of the collection, too, and so is a fleet of 24 oldtimer vehicles.

A variety of conference rooms

Besides the unique opportunity to crisscross Škoda Auto’s past and present within the museum, the Škoda Museum building offers a variety of conference rooms and premises for event organisers. Situated in a historical setting, the Škoda Museum building houses modern conference rooms and premises suited to host various events, concerts, exhibitions and meetings. Škoda Museum offers premises suitable for boutique corporate events, as well as a multi-function conference room designed to accommodate hundreds of guests. The central idea behind this project was to combine the historical elements of the building with progressive technologies to create unique, state-of-the-art premises.

With state-of-the-art solutions, such as a hydraulic multi-function stage and auditorium, the Laurin & Klement Forum is one of the Czech Republic’s most modern multi-function centres and the only centre of its kind in Central Europe, directly linked to the world of automotive history.
