Plzeň Region (Czech: Plzeňský kraj; German: Pilsner Region) is an administrative unit (kraj) in the western part of Bohemia in the Czech Republic. It is named after its capital Plzeň (English, German: Pilsen). In terms of area, Plzeň region is 7,561 km², the third largest region in the Czech Republic. However, the population of 572,459 inhabitants (as of 31 December 2012) it is the ninth most populous region. After the South Bohemian Region it is the second least densely populated region. The region can be roughly divided into two parts: a highly industrialized north-eastern part with a strong engineering tradition around Pilsen (Czech: Plzeň) and a more hilly and rural south-western part with smaller-sized manufacturing companies processing natural resources.

We were staying in Rokycany and wanted to do something before heading onto Pilsen for the day. Going here was a great decision! The collection of military vehicles was impressive and there were a few exhibits to look at, although most were just in Czech. Highly recommended!

The Western Bohemian Regional Museum has beautifully glass and porcelain displays. We only did 1 of the 3 collections but was so impressed. We expected only to see items from this region, but they had a collection from around the world.

The first step towards the founding of Ethnographic Museum was the Ethnographic Exhibition of Pilsen in 1912. The objects from this exhibition became the basis of the collection which was transported to the historical Gerlach’s House in Drevena Street, where the museum was opened to the public for the first time in 1915. The main initiator was Ladislav Labek, collector and the ethnographer, who also became the first manager of the museum. Due to the growing collection, more room was afforded to the museum in the house of the former Chotesov Monastery in the main square during the 1930s. In 1948, the museum became part of the West Bohemian Museum in Pilsen. In March 2000, a new exhibition was opened, that presents municipal interiors from the Gothic period to the beginning of the 20th century. The second part is dealing with the life in the country, presents rural chambers or an original „black kitchen“ from the beginning of the 19th centrury. The exhibition is rounded off with folk costumes and customary objects from West Bohemia. A unique element of the exhibition is an antique apothecary shop.
This museum is such a gem....it's in a large old house and has tremendous offerings of artifacts, furniture, textiles, stoneware, and art. You need a guide (you'd get lost, it's like a labyrinth!) but if the guide does not speak your language, the museum has binders with explanations of each item in great detail. Lovely, would recommend!
