Glass Museum Kamenický Šenov
From the 17th century to the present, the museum has specialized in engraved and cut glass. The permanent exposition called “Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? “ is dedicated to this kind of glass. The exposition presents the history of engraved glass from its origins to triennial International Engraved Glass Symposiums that have taken place since 1996. Part of the collection is for example objects produced by the company J. & L. Lobmeyr, local vocational school – the oldest glass school in the world, and also very unique exhibit - glass chair made by chandelier company Elias Palme in 1894 for the palace of maharaja in Hyderabad. The exhibition is completed by traditional crystal chandeliers. Short-term exhibitions focused on contemporary glass or the history of the collection also take place. Visitors can get creative in our workshop, participate in regular events (Museum night; Lenfest etc.) and buy small souvenirs.
