From website of the ŠKODA Museum offers a wealth of information. Lovers of the brand scroll for hours through the endless timeline with models† It starts in 1895 with the Slavia bicycle by Laurin and Klement and ends hundreds of bicycles, motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, racing cars and study models later with the fully electric ENYAQ iV† You can click on each model for more photos and background information.
The ŠKODA Museum also offers virtual tours in video form† The informative films show part of the collection in about three minutes. You can view them for free, but be warned: holiday plans for a trip to the Czech Republic and the museum will spontaneously form in your head. Below we discuss the latest videos.
New videos: see for yourself in the warehouse
In the video about the Depository see which cool ŠKODAs are in the warehouse. The warehouse is open to the public and houses special (study) models. The showpiece is a black and red ŠKODA FERAT from the Czech horror film ‘The Vampire of Ferat’. Never heard of it? You are forgiven. Probably no Czech has ever seen ‘The elevator’ by Dick Maas… In the warehouse you will also spot old acquaintances who already had their own background story, but whom you see with your own eyes here, such as the ŠKODA JOYSTERfrom ŠKODA YETI Concept and the ŠKODA OCTAVIA WRC.
From second video is all about tradition† Bringing two classic cars together allows the museum to tell exciting new stories. In the display cases around it, you can see the evolution of the ŠKODA logo and admire your amazing photos. Like a print of a huge wooden crate in Tokyo, from which the new Laurin & Klement of a Japanese prince rolls out. A proud unboxing photo, long before the hype of the unboxing videos on YouTube.
Discover the birthplace of Ferdinand Porsche
If you visit the ŠKODA Museum in Mladá Boleslav, you are only half an hour by car from the Ferdinand Porsche Birth House-museum in Vratislavice. In the birthplace of the founder of the sports car brand of the same name, both his designs and mobility in general are celebrated.
In three new videos you can see what the museum has to offer. To avoid being overwhelmed by information, the museum is careful with information boards. Instead, at the entrance you get a tablet pressed into your hands. This allows you to scan the objects that you find fascinating and then you can read all the information on the screen. Such as memorabilia from the Porsche family and inventions that Ferdinand made on Czech soil. The current showpiece is a 1936 Auto Union Type C, a Grand Prix race car designed by Ferdinand with a 16-cylinder engine in front of the rear axle – progressive at the time.
