The painter and illustrator of many books, Zdeněk Burian, was born in Koprivnice but many of their children's games took place in nearby Štramberk.

The historic town attracted local children due to the mysterious cave which sparked children's imagination and started their journey of discovery. His life and work is remembered in the local Zdeněk Burian Museum. The expositions are housed in a building from the early eighteenth century.

Zdeněk Burian

Few pleased generations of inquisitive children more than did Zdeněk Burian. This illustrator of many books recorded scenes from the stories of Karl May, Jack London, Eduard Storch, Jaroslav Foglar or Jules Verne. A masterpiece of this native of Kopřivnice was his book of extinct dinosaurs and prehistoric animals which was created along with the paleologist Josef Augusta.
