City Museum in Železný Brod
The museum's glass exhibition underwent a major reconstruction in 2023. The opening ceremony took place on 1 March 2024 and since then the museum has been visited by many satisfied visitors. The new exhibition concept is based on a beautiful play of light, colour and shapes, made possible by the unique design of the display cases. The exhibits are literally illuminated from all sides.
The gallery 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.
The glass figures from Železnobrod have rightly become a symbol of the town. The exhibition features miniature glass sculptures of animals, people and various figures that combine playfulness, imagination and precise glass craft.
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.
Young visitors can have a lot of fun in the children's corner with the giant ball trail or while stringing beads and folding paper crystals. They can also go through all the exhibitions, which will be guided by the Grain of Sand with its fun tasks.
The Železnobrod region is a centre of glassmakers and artists, so the museum shop offers regional glass products and original souvenirs. Book lovers can choose from a range of regional publications.
