The one in Va\u017eec is special in that it is housed in the <\/span><strong>birth<\/strong><span> <\/span><strong>house<\/strong><span> <\/span><strong>of J\u00e1n Kov\u00e1\u010d<\/strong>. The museum showcases his private collection that documents the life in Va\u017eec over the past centuries. When J\u00e1n Kov\u00e1\u010d was a little boy, he took oxen out to pasture and was fascinated by different kinds of bells and belts and folk culture as such. He always wanted to have the most beautiful ones and this passion has remained with him for the rest of his life. He dreamt of each belt and bell having a place of honour in his house.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span><\/span><strong>He started creating the collection twenty years ago<\/strong><span>&nbsp;in his parents\u2019 house, a former brick manor house built in 1760. His great grandfather Matej Kov\u00e1\u010d bought it after he got back home from the USA after the World War I. J\u00e1n had been living in the house for 40 years before he moved to the house he built with his wife.<\/span><strong> He got the idea of creating the collection in the manor house shortly before his retirement. The museum was open two years later. <\/strong><span>Farming tools that once belonged to his father were the first exhibits of the collection. J\u00e1n then concentrated on collecting the items related to crafts of everyday life in Va\u017eec. The exhibits include tools and equipment used by a weaver, shoemaker, men&#8217;s tailor and furrier, blacksmith, carpenter, potter, ropemaker and also the equipment and furnishings from a shepherds hut. The collection documents the life in Va\u017eec, it displays period photographs, trade licenses, trade related records and documents and it also boats a model of the village of Va\u017eec as it was before it was destroyed by fire. The model was created by Milan Bartko under the supervision of Mr Pafko. The museum shows <\/span><strong>household equipment<\/strong><span>, <\/span><strong>duvet covers and bedding sets<\/strong><span> typical of Va\u017eec,&nbsp;<\/span><strong>chests<\/strong><span>, clothing. \u201cThe artefacts I value most are the original <\/span><strong>bride and groom\u00b4s costumes <\/strong>and the chests that brides used to bring to their new household. The oldest one dates back to 1781, it has original decoration and the bride\u00b4s name written on it,\u201d said J\u00e1n Kov\u00e1\u010d. Another rarity on show is a mechanism that powered the tower clock of the Lutheran church. The clock was restored in 1912.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Kov\u00e1\u010d&#8217;s narrative takes visitors on a journey to the last century, they can feel the authenticity of the place, with stories of the craftsmen, carvers, shepherds and customs in Va\u017eec coming to life. Let\u00b4s hope the passion for traditions and history will stay with this almost eighty-year-old devoted collector for a long time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture description:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional costume of the bride from Va\u017eec: tiara, blouse, woollen skirt, apron, puatky (embroidered squares on the upper part of the blouse), beaded necklace, scarf.

The one in Va\u017eec is special in that it is housed in the <strong>birth<\/strong> <strong>house<\/strong> <strong>of J\u00e1n Kov\u00e1\u010d<\/strong>. The museum showcases his private collection that documents the life in Va\u017eec over the past centuries. When J\u00e1n Kov\u00e1\u010d was a little boy, he took oxen out to pasture and was fascinated by different kinds of bells and belts and folk culture as such. He always wanted to have the most beautiful ones and this passion has remained with him for the rest of his life. He dreamt of each belt and bell having a place of honour in his house.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>He started creating the collection twenty years ago<\/strong>&nbsp;in his parents\u2019 house, a former brick manor house built in 1760. His great grandfather Matej Kov\u00e1\u010d bought it after he got back home from the USA after the World War I. J\u00e1n had been living in the house for 40 years before he moved to the house he built with his wife.<strong> He got the idea of creating the collection in the manor house shortly before his retirement. The museum was open two years later. <\/strong>Farming tools that once belonged to his father were the first exhibits of the collection. J\u00e1n then concentrated on collecting the items related to crafts of everyday life in Va\u017eec. The exhibits include tools and equipment used by a weaver, shoemaker, men's tailor and furrier, blacksmith, carpenter, potter, ropemaker and also the equipment and furnishings from a shepherds hut. The collection documents the life in Va\u017eec, it displays period photographs, trade licenses, trade related records and documents and it also boats a model of the village of Va\u017eec as it was before it was destroyed by fire. The model was created by Milan Bartko under the supervision of Mr Pafko. The museum shows <strong>household equipment<\/strong>, <strong>duvet covers and bedding sets<\/strong> typical of Va\u017eec,&nbsp;<strong>chests<\/strong>, clothing. \u201cThe artefacts I value most are the original <strong>bride and groom\u00b4s costumes <\/strong>and the chests that brides used to bring to their new household. The oldest one dates back to 1781, it has original decoration and the bride\u00b4s name written on it,\u201d said J\u00e1n Kov\u00e1\u010d. Another rarity on show is a mechanism that powered the tower clock of the Lutheran church. The clock was restored in 1912.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Mr Kov\u00e1\u010d's narrative takes visitors on a journey to the last century, they can feel the authenticity of the place, with stories of the craftsmen, carvers, shepherds and customs in Va\u017eec coming to life. Let\u00b4s hope the passion for traditions and history will stay with this almost eighty-year-old devoted collector for a long time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Picture description:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Traditional costume of the bride from Va\u017eec: tiara, blouse, woollen skirt, apron, puatky (embroidered squares on the upper part of the blouse), beaded necklace, scarf.
