The largest folk mechanical nativity scene in the world.
The largest folk mechanical nativity scene in the world, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records, is one of the most visited exhibitions of the museum. The magnificent nativity scene was created by its creator, Jindřichův Hradec hosiery master Tomáš Krýza, over more than sixty years. The crib contains 1,398 human and animal figures, 133 of which are moving. The figures are made of papier-mâché and wood. The original mechanism, which was initially driven by hand, distributes the movement from a single electric motor.
