Muzeum Technických Zajímavostí

Muzeum Technických Zajímavostí, z.s. (Museum of Technical Curiosities) is a Czech registered association founded on 22 September 2020 and based in Choceň, Czech Republic. Its stated mission is to collect, renovate and present to the general public interesting and unique technical exhibits that are unusual in some way. The association deliberately focuses on objects that other groups often deprioritise, typically because they offer little return on investment or fall outside the conceptual scope of other clubs and societies. The museum's principal goal is to build a collection of vehicles that helped develop railway network infrastructure from the first electrification era, essentially the 1950s. This segment of railway history is, in the association's view, greatly neglected. By gathering, restoring and interpreting these vehicles, the museum aims to convey their contribution to overall railway operations to enthusiasts and the wider public. Although founded only recently, the association reports more than 15 movable exhibits in various stages of restoration, plus dozens of static or object-based exhibits such as signalling technology and traffic office equipment. It also intends to build a small technical library of specialist books. The museum presents its collection through its website and invites the public to visit its exhibits at events. As a registered association (z.s.), the entity is a private, non-profit organisation rather than a commercial company. It operates in the Czech Republic and is documented in Wikidata (Q108915383).

According to its statutes, its purpose is to collect, renovate and present to the general public interesting and unique technical exhibits across various age categories.
