The brothers Jan and Václav Fišers from Turnov. Their alleged voyage to Venice, five years of efforts to seize the local secret of secrecy, return to Turnov, dozens of wasted attempts and then - finally success! In 1711 they made the first glass for the production of artificial stones.

THE GLASSHOUSE IN NOVÝ SVĚT

It was in 1712, when Elias Müller built his glassworks on the estate of the Harrach Counts in Jilemnice.

Even today, you can see not only metallurgical production and blowing glass, but also a hundred-year-old grinding shop. It is driven by a water turbine and transmissions used to distribute the driving force.

BLOWN BEAD and its way to the tree

People can make sense of time and numbers, but not us, beads. However, I have heard that they have been blowing me in the mountains for more than a hundred years. As a bead would put it, that is a long time. You, who have never seen how a bead is born, you don´t know how beautiful life can be....

The iQLANDIA Science and Entertainment Centre is the culmination of many years of efforts to build a centre popularising science and technology in Liberec. It opens up the world of natural phenomena and technology in a fun way, especially for families with children from 8 years old. It is the "younger sister" of iQPARK, which gradually focused primarily on promoting the playfulness and curiosity of children from 3 to 10 years old and families with children. With iQPLANETARIUM, iQPARK and iQFABLAB, iQLANDIA makes science and research accessible to schools and the general public, using the principles of non-formal education and an exploratory approach.

Wondering where to spend the day in a fun yet smart way? Are you playful and curious? Take your family to iQLANDIA! You'll experience four hundred amazing exhibits led by a humanoid robot, space training, a firestorm and a lightning dance. Taste earthquakes and whirlwinds or slide down a land slide. Discover how the human body works and the world around us. Explore distant galaxies and see the most diverse projections in the iQPLANETARIUM. In addition, a rich accompanying programme of science and entertainment shows, laboratory workshops and research activities awaits you. Families with younger children will enjoy time together exploring and playing in the iQPARK.
