The Škoda Museum is continuing to expand its exhibition offering with another attractive depository space now open to the public. Following the first phase, ‘Sleeping Beauties’, which opened in December 2025, the second hall, named ‘Concepts Unmasked’, is now opening its doors to visitors. Here, Škoda Auto presents concepts, design studies and prototypes from the late 1950s to the present day. Visits are available by prior reservation and as part of a guided tour. Together, the two depositories add more than 50 attractive exhibits to the main Škoda Museum exhibition.
Set within the unique atmosphere of a historic factory hall dating back to 1913, the Škoda Museum has opened a new depository named ‘Concepts Unmasked’. Škoda is thus giving visitors the opportunity to look behind the curtain of history and opening up another part of its collection to the public. The newly accessible hall is home to 31 concepts, studies and prototypes, all united by the ambition to shape the future design and technical direction of the Czech car manufacturer. With its modern “garage-style” exhibition concept, the newly opened hall naturally follows on from the existing ‘Sleeping Beauties’ space. Together, they form a separate visitor circuit, which can be explored with a guide and by prior reservation. Each exhibit is accompanied by a short description, while further details are available by scanning a QR code. As with the museum’s main exhibition, the display in the new depository will also be refreshed from time to time.
The Škoda Museum in Mladá Boleslav takes visitors through more than130 years of the company’s history, from the earliest Laurin & Klement vehicles to current models and design studies. The museum opened in 1995 in the original factory buildings and underwent a complete refurbishment in 2012. The museum’s exhibitions cover 1,800 m² and include not only historic vehicles, but also prototypes, motorsport specials and motorcycles. The oldest exhibit is an 1899 Slavia bicycle. A visit to the museum can also be combined with a tour of Škoda’s production plant in Mladá Boleslav, or the plants in Vrchlabí and Kvasiny, as well as a trip to Ferdinand Porsche’s Birth House in Liberec-Vratislavice.
Photographs of all exhibits on display in the newly opened ‘Concepts Unmasked’ depository are available to download free of charge from Škoda Storyboard.
