Museum of old machines and technologies - Žamberk, Czech Republic

The museum of old machines and technologies was established in Žamberk on the premises of the original Vonwiller textile factory. Here you can view dozens of historic steam engines, locomotives, stable engines, vintage cars, motorcycles and several bicycles, and above all period workshop equipment.

The museum gradually opens individual exhibitions, focusing on various branches of historical technology and its development. Exhibitions are open to the public during events and outside of these days by prior arrangement by telephone.

The only thing we missed in Žamberk was a proper exhibition of historical bicycles. This is what they are waiting for and as they write themselves: "If this area is close to you, we welcome cooperation with you at any level from external supporters to new members." So hopefully soon....

Expo of Petr Šimpach – Bílovec Museum, Czech Republic

Exhibition "BICYCLE from birth to the second half of the 20th century"

Petr Šimpach, a student from Bílovec, has been collecting vintage bikes since he was thirteen. He perceives this passion of his as an activity that saves a piece of history for future generations and can thus, at least in a small way, contribute to ensuring that it is not forgotten. You can view the complete collection of Repeko Cycles (@repeco_cycles) supplemented by exhibits loaned by the Moravan and Elegant associations in Ostrava in Bílovec Museum.

The whole exhibition is a very nice achievement of a passionate young collector. Congratulations and fingers crossed! You can visit the exhibition from Tuesday 24 January to Tuesday 28 February 2023 during the opening hours of the Bílovec Museum.
