Dačice Town Museum and Gallery
The Dačice Town Museum and Gallery offers not only a permanent exhibition on the history and ethnography of the Dačice region and the history of the world's first sugar cube, but also a permanent gallery exhibition featuring a selection of graphic works by Max Švabinský.
The origins of the museum and gallery in Dačice date back to 1893. Over time, the museum has changed locations several times but has always remained dedicated to its purpose – systematically collecting, documenting, and preserving exhibits related mainly to Dačice, its surrounding areas, and its regional identity. Today, the museum is located inside the castle building.
