In 2019, the reconstructed Beskydy – Nature and People exhibition was opened, documenting the history and present of the people of the region in 13 rooms. The exhibition is designed to guide you in the same way that people head to the mountains. Thanks to new interactive elements, you can recognize, for example, the sounds of animals, or you will learn a lot of interesting information from Frýdek-Místek and Beskydy history, ethnography, geology, botany and other disciplines, which together form the overall mosaic of the Beskydy Mountains.
Along with a visit to the chateau, pick up a playing card at the box office and set off on a 2-kilometer-long route, on which 15 tasks need to be solved. The search engine, which is called Around Frýdek-Místek Castle, will take you to three castle parks, where children will have a lot of fun and learn a lot of new information.
