Prague, 6 October 2020

The new Turnov exhibition "Mountaineering: From Bohemian Paradise to the Tops of the World" became a museum achievement in 2019.

 

On October 6, the results of the Gloria musaealis awards were announced. In the Museum Achievement of 2019 category, the main prize went to the Museum of the Bohemian Paradise in Turnov, an organization of the Liberec Region.

 

The architecturally imaginative reconstruction and completion of the museum building created space for an extremely impressive exhibition that recalls the history and present of the phenomenon of Czech mountaineering. In principle, the simple object turned into a mountain landscape inside, working with strong symbolism.

The permanent climbing exhibition was opened to the public in September 2019.
