Description was written before the event

The philanthropic project SKLO-GLASS brings the second stop of Dana Vachtová's travelling exhibition to Sušice: Vanished Places Vanished Homes.

The exhibition combines a unique cycle of glass objects by renowned Czech glass artist and sculptor Dana Vachtová (1937-2023) with specific stories of Šumava residents from the Memory of Nations database.

About the venue: Šumava Museum Sušice

The Šumava Museum in Sušice was founded in 1880 by local teacher Josef Holík, making it the first museum in the Bohemian Forest foothills. It occupies a Renaissance townhouse with a Gothic core dating from the second half of the 15th century on Náměstí Svobody. Permanent exhibitions cover the history of match production - manufacturing began here in 1839 and grew into a globally significant industry - and the glassmaking traditions of the Šumava region. The highlight is a mechanical nativity scene five metres long, among the largest of its kind in the Czech Republic. The museum is part of a network of four branches, including Kašperské Hory, Železná Ruda and Dobrá Voda.
