Military Museum Lešany


The Military Technical Museum Lešany is a museum of military vehicles located in the Czech Republic, about 20 kilometers south of Prague. Its exposition contains over 700 historic tanks, cannons, motorcycles, armored vehicles, trucks, military passenger vehicles, missile systems and other military equipment manufactured from 1890 to the present.

History and presentation

The Museum was established in 1996 in a former artillery barracks between the villages of Krhanice and Lešany, near Týnec nad Sázavou. The collections are presented in ten halls, six roofed areas and also in the open air. Since 2003, a so-called 'Tank Day' is held every year at the end of the season in the area of the museum, where many of the tanks and other military vehicles from the museum's collection are presented in dynamic displays. The Army of the Czech Republic participates in these events, therefore current military equipment of the Czech Army can also be seen on display. There are also events at the beginning of every season which are usually dedicated to other branches of ground equipment, like "Artillery day", "AAA day", "Tatra day", etc.
