The Žatec Hops-growing Museum is part of the Temple of Hops and Beer tourist complex. The exposition, introducing visitors to the development of hops growing and processing from the early Middle Ages to the present, is the largest of its kind in the world. The museum is situated in original hops drying, storage and packaging premises. The complex, now owned by the CHMELAŘSTVÍ cooperative, was designed by architect Josef Petrovský and the project implemented by builder Franz Fanta. It has been proposed for inclusion in the world heritage list.
