The permanent exhibition of nativity scenes was reopened in December 2023 after a break of almost a year, caused by a change of tenant in the former school building in the centre of Kryštofovo Údolí. Our aim is to build on the history of the Museum of Nativity Scenes (established in 1993) and to further develop and modernise the permanent exhibition and exhibition space. We have a long way to go in terms of renovation, construction of exhibitions, processing the information obtained on the history and techniques used in the exhibited cribs, converting the information into electronic form, and establishing contacts not only in the crib industry. The creations and crafts of emerging or regional artists and Secondary Schools of Art and Industry, as well as educational programs for elementary schools, Journey of Glass, Journey of Metal, Journey of Fleece, Journey of Wood and others will be presented to the public on the second floor of the building.

On the first floor of the museum, visitors will see over one hundred familiar and original nativity scenes of various ages, sizes and provenance. The second floor is designed as a space for smaller-scale exhibitions and is suitable for holding talks, seminars and courses. Historical objects from Europe, Africa and North America, decorated with glass beads, from a private collection lent by Ivan Vydra from Chrastava. The exhibition is planned for two years. For children and adults we organize courses in wirework, making jewellery from beads, etc.
