Ethnographic sub-collection\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

At present, the ethnographic sub-collection of the Museum of the Vy\u0161kov Region comprises more than 5,900 pieces. The largest and most important collection is the collection of Vy\u0161kov faience; together with other ceramic products, it contains over 1,800 pieces. The second largest collection is fabrics. In addition to the preserved fabrics from the Vy\u0161kov Region from the 19th century, one of the most valuable pieces is the Han\u00e1 embroidery from the collections of priest Jan Vyhl\u00eddal, and clothing items from the former German linguistic enclave are also represented. The collection also contains items related to crafts, household supplies, and small devotional prints. Art culture is inconsistently represented in the ethnographic sub-collection by underpaintings on glass, sculptures, Easter eggs, etc. Recently, a large collection of Easter eggs by Marie Pachtov\u00e1, a native of Vy\u0161kov, has been acquired. Less numerous collections in the ethnographic sub-collection include farming tools, religious objects, furniture, and traditional folk culture. Most of the collection items come from the area around Vy\u0161kov in the former Vy\u0161kov District. The collection also contains items from other parts of Moravia, especially Central Moravia, and occasionally also objects of Czech and Slovak provenance. The objects from Alois Musil\u2019s estate, a prominent Arabist and theologist, which he brought from the Middle East, stand out from the rest of the sub-collection in terms of their place of origin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
