The museum, founded in 1933, has been an allowance organisation of the Zlín Region since 2003. The expert and professional focus of the Museum goes beyond the boundaries of the region. The core of the Museum’s activities is care and protection of museum collections. Its respective specialist departments maintain and present extensive collection funds, including the works of a prominent Czech painter and graphic artist and native of Kroměříž Max Švabinský. The museum has its own education department, which creates thematic activities and prepares accompanying education and interpretation programmes on the exhibitions and displays for schools and the public.

The Open-air museum in Rymice, managed by the Kroměříž District Museum, is absolutely unique in its character and layout. It consists of seven authentic buildings representing the vernacular architecture of the Haná region, plus a historical stronghold with large farmyard and utility buildings, documenting the way of manorial farming in Moravia in the past. The village houses and farmyards, reconstructed in the 1970s for the museum purposes, present a way of living and homesteading in this area over the past two centuries. They are unique in the fact that unlike in other open-air museums, our houses stand in their authentic original places,“in situ”. The wooden German-type windmill is the only structure that had been moved over to Rymice from the nearby village of Bořenovice.

German-type windmill with an all-wood revolving structure. For its authenticity it has been listed as a National Historic Landmark since 2014.
