The Patton Memorial of Pilsen is the only museum in the Czech Republic that is devoted to the American army. The exhibition historically maps the progression and residence of the United States Army in the former Czechoslovakia in 1945; it then maps the post-war economic aid provided by UNRA to our country and the period of the totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia from 1948 – 1989. The largest exhibition area is formed of period equipment and ammunition of members of the army and many items used daily by soldiers. The exhibits come from private collections.
