Buy ticket

Who were the saints, how do we recognize them, and what role did they play in the lives of medieval people? Stories of St. George, St. Christopher, St. Catherine, St. Barbara and others are told not only through legends but also through the artworks of medieval masters. The programme explains concepts such as patron saint, legend, attribute, canonization, and introduces hagiography as a literary genre that deliberately transforms historical facts into fiction. In the workshop, students will create their own legend in comic form.

The programme relates to works including: St. Christopher from Církvice, St. George Altarpiece, The Beheading of St. Barbara, altar wings with St. Christopher and St. Sebastian, and others.

Target group: Primary school grades 1-2 / Duration: 120 minutes / Capacity: 12-28 people / Price: 100 CZK per person, 2 teachers free

About the venue: St. Agnes Convent

The Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Prague, founded in the 1230s by the Premyslid princess St Agnes of Bohemia as the first convent of the Poor Clares north of the Alps. Today it forms part of the National Gallery Prague and houses the permanent exhibition Medieval Art in Bohemia and Central Europe 1200–1550. Visitors can explore the Oratory of St Agnes, the Shrine of the Saviour, and the Church of St Francis, where the remains of King Wenceslas I are buried.
