Why visit this place?

• The museum was created in 2004 by converting a building in the former Dukla barracks and was ceremonially opened in 2006.
• It also recalls drilling near Hodonín, where an oil deposit was struck in 1919 at a depth of 217 m on the drained Nesyt pond.
• Besides the tour there are hands-on workshops, so children get to make something themselves.
• Allow roughly two hours; the programme is aimed at every age group from preschool to secondary school.
• There are 36 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• An outdoor trip that, according to our records, runs all year round.
