Glass Takes Center Stage – Museum Night 2026
Program
This year, for the sixteenth time, the Nový Bor Glass Museum is participating in the MUSEUM NIGHTS FESTIVAL, organized by the Association of Museums and Galleries of the Czech Republic in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the National Museum.
As in previous years, they have prepared an afternoon program for children and parents. The evening will, as usual, be dedicated to music.
This year, the event is thematically linked to the centennial celebrations of the Nový Bor cinema and theater, and the program was prepared in collaboration with KULTURA NB. The title GLASS IN THE LEADING ROLE suggests that the focus will be on glass in films and fairy tales. Glass from the Nový Bor region and exhibits from local collections have appeared, for example, in the cult Czech film Pelíšky, the global hit Barbie, and the romantic series Bridgerton. And that will be the task for visitors of all ages. Find, identify, and match them to the film. In a playful and entertaining way, they’ll explore the permanent exhibition, where other fun activities await them.
There will be a fairy tale for the children. The South Bohemian Theater JÁ TO JSEM will perform the puppet show Otesánek at 5 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., the museum courtyard will resound with film songs performed by CRAZY FLUTES and the SBORBOR ZUŠ NOVÝ BOR choir. Starting at 8 p.m., we’ll continue with a concert by the iconic Prague band UŽ JSME DOMA. And to wrap things up, visitors can look forward to a screening of the film Turn on the Light, So We Can See.
Admission to the afternoon children’s program is 30 CZK per person. Admission to the evening program is by donation.
