NEW GENERATION MUSEUM IN ŽĎÁR NAD SÁZAVOU / 2015

New installations combine immersive elements and experience with exhibits borrowed from prominent Czech institutions. 

The exhibition on the ground level is dedicated to the Cistercian Order and early Middle Ages; the upper level contains collections of exhibits from the beautiful, colorful world of Baroque.
Step into the dark forest where the brave monks built their first monastery. Experience one day in the life of a monk or discover the beauty of Cistercian artworks. Through the kaleidoscope, you will be able to move to an era of prosperity, nourishing arts, sciences, and architecture, i.e. the era of Baroque. Meet Abbot Vejmluva, the bygone monastery’s outstanding personality and the brilliant architect Jan Blažej Santini, or explore the mathematical mysteries of The Pilgrimage Church of St. John Nepomuk at Zelena hora. The New Generation Museum is not only a museum, it is the key to comprehending the complex of the former monastery and the current castle in Žďár nad Sázavou as a whole.
