Archeoskanzen Modrá
Archeoskanzen Modrá is an open-air museum in the village of Modrá between Staré Město and Velehrad, about 29 km south of Kroměříž by road. It shows what a fortified settlement from the time of Great Moravia may have looked like. The reconstructed buildings are based on real archaeological finds, some of them from this very site.
Behind the ramparts and the wall you will find dwellings, craft workshops, farm buildings, the prince's palace and the Church of St John. The underground exhibition Treasury of Great Moravia (Klenotnice Velké Moravy) displays jewellery, weapons and other objects from the graves of the nobility of the time. Programmes and events take place throughout the year, and an audio guide is available for the tour of the site.
The open-air museum is run by the municipality of Modrá, with the Moravian Museum in Brno as its expert partner.
