Join Us for an Exciting Easter at the Mining Museum Příbram

Every year, during the Easter season, the Mining Museum Příbram in Březové Hory hosts a delightful event known as Easter in a miner’s house. This engaging experience allows you to discover how Easter was celebrated in a miner’s home back in the early 20th century and enables you to fully immerse yourself in the genuine Easter spirit through various senses. You will have the chance to explore the interior of a miner’s cottage that dates back to the 17th century, which will be beautifully decorated to reflect how miners used to adorn their homes for Easter in the past.

Additionally, you will be able to see historic Easter decorations, beautifully painted eggs, and various sculptures including those representing mining patrons. The dedicated museum staff will showcase traditional Easter practices and share insights about the holiday customs and traditions related to the life of a mining family. Visitors will even have opportunities to get hands-on by learning to knit pomlazek, bake Judas, decorate wax eggs, or engage in malleting activities.

The Mining Museum will be open during the weekends, specifically for Easter in the miner’s house on April 12 and 13, as well as during the Easter holidays from April 17 to 20, 2025 (Thursday to Sunday), with visiting hours from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. For larger groups, it is essential to book in advance by sending an email to rezervace@muzeum-pribram.cz or by calling 318 626 307. The individual admission fee is just 60 crowns.
