Regional Museum Mikulov — Attraction in okres Břeclav

For the basic guided tour of the castle rooms, the interior and information are not worth the price of admission. These are not furnished interiors of a historic castle. It's just a chaperoned walk through a museum of random objects that seem unexceptional if you've visited a lot of collections, castles, and museums.

The tour is in Czech and non-speakers get an audio-guide. The audio guide was long-winded and dry. The tour guide talked at a different pace than the audio-guide and either moved to the next room faster or slower than the text moved. Our tour guide was extraordinarily irritated if we were stuck in the previous room listening to the audioguide, waiting for it to catch up, but then lashed out at us in fury when we tried to move to the next room without her supervision. But it was very hard to hear the audio-guide at all with her loud tour going on right next to you in the same room. Really, I can't get over how rude and unprofessional the tour guide girl was. From the get go, she acted as if she was mad she had to give a tour at all. We bought tickets 5 minutes before it started. She rushed inside on the hour without making sure everyone who paid was present, and then berated us angrily for being 3 minutes late. She spent the rest of the tour hounding us in exasperation whenever she got the chance. My goodness, what an...

Kvůli nedostatku času jsme absolvovali jen dvě prohlídky - nekomentovaný okruh "Římané a Germáni v kraji pod Pálavou", který mapuje dění ve zdejším regionu v prvních staletích našeho letopočtu. Rozsah a organizace římského tábora v nedalekých Pasohlávkách mi vyrazila dech. Za sebe dávám 10/10. Druhou, tentokráte komentovanou prohlídku "Zámecký sklep s Obřím sudem", jsme zvolili už v oddechovém tempu, nicméně stát před vinným sudem o objemu kolem sto tisíc litrů bylo skutečným zážitkem. Působivé byly i dřevěné, částečně vyřezávané vinné lisy. Díky, v muzeu se nám moc líbilo!

Due to the lack of time, we took only two tours - the uncommented tour "Romans and Germans in the region below Pálava", which maps the events in the local region in the first centuries AD. The scale and organisation of the Roman camp in nearby Pasohlávky village took my breath away. For myself I give it 10/10. The second one, this time a guided tour of the "Chateau Cellar with the Giant Barrel", was a more leisurely pace, but standing in front of a wine barrel with a volume of around 100,000 litres was just amazing. The wooden, partially carved wine presses were also impressive. Thanks, we really...

reginonalni muzej u Mikulovu je smešten u zamku, najdominantnijoj građevini u gradu. Od originalnih baroknih enterijera zamka nije mnogo toga ostalo jer je zamak bio zapaljen na samom kraju drugog svetskog rata. Ne očekujte da vidite raskošne sobe i salone kao u drugim zamkovima u okolini. Postavka muzeja obuhvata različite tematske celine vezane za porodicu Ditrihštajn, istoriju grada i različite esnafske cehove koji se nekada bili zastupljeni u gradu. Muzej se može obići samo u toku vođene ture. Vodič je bio izuzetno ljubazan stariji gospodin koji je veoma lepo prezentovao sve što se moglo videti. Na žalost, govori samo češki i nemački jezik, pa ako ne razumete neki od ta dva jezika, može biti problem. Nisam hteo da idem sa audio vodičem pa sam odabrao turu na češkom jeziku i sve razumeo bez većih problema. Inače, bio sam jedini...
