The Teplice Chateau – the seat of the Regional Museum
The Regional Museum in Teplice dates back to 1894 and is connected with the appearance of the Museum Society. On the 7th of December 1897 the Society displayed its first exhibition in School Street (Školní ulice) 17. At this address the museum resided up to 1905 and then moved to the Trade House in the same street ( now the buildng of the District Archives ). The basic fond of the collections had been displayed for the public already in 1873 and consisted of the articles bought from the many-sided collector
These three main tasks influenced the museum work for dozens of years. At that time the museum was considered to be one of the best and the biggest among the non-Prague museums. In 1945 the Museum was taken over by the Town Council, which in 1947 gave it the right to use the building of the chateau. Later it was subordinated to the administration of the Regional Committe and since 1976 functioned as an expert and methodical centre for all the other museums in North Bohemia.
