City Museum in Železný Brod
The new glass exhibition of the Municipal Museum emphasizes the work with light, one part of which uses gently diffused daylight, while the other fascinates with dramatic lighting of exhibits in a dark space. The play of light greatly helps visitors to grasp the not always easily revealed mystery of glass and its inner beauty. The exhibition emphasises the glass production that is characteristic of the city.
Železnobrod glass figurines have rightly become a symbol of the town. The exhibition presents miniature glass sculptures of animals, people and various figures that combine playfulness, imagination and precise glass craft.
Galleries of monumental sculptures by the world-famous Libenský and Brychtová duo are part of the museum's permanent exhibition. However, you can also enjoy short-term exhibitions in the museum, which will be appreciated not only by lovers of art glass.
Young visitors can have a lot of fun in the children's corner with a giant ball trail or while stringing beads and folding paper crystals. They can also go through all the exhibitions, which the Grain of Sand will guide them through with his fun tasks.
There is always a relaxed atmosphere in the museum, even with a cup of excellent coffee while watching short films or on the terrace overlooking the square.
The Železnobrod region is a centre for glassmakers and artists, so the museum shop offers regional glass products and original souvenirs.
Book lovers can choose from a range of regional publications.
