Fragile Mikulov 2026
Mikulov
Fragile Mikulov is held for the fourteenth time this year – as every year on the last weekend of May. The collector's design festival will fill the Mikulov Castle Grounds, Stucco Hall, Convent, House at the Wild Man and other exhibition spaces in Mikulov with Czech and international exhibitors.
The Gajdoš Hall will be dedicated to Milan Pekař, Tereza Sluková and Johan Pertl in a dialogue of ceramics and glass under the direction of scenographer Josef Tomšej. In the castle chapel, among others, Luxembourg artist Pitt Brandenburger will present his work. The festival also includes exhibitions of student ceramic and porcelain studios and an accompanying programme for the whole family, including a pétanque tournament.
Some installations will be on view until 7 June 2026.
