About the venue: Museum and Gallery of Northern Plzeň Region in Mariánská Týnice

The Museum and Gallery of Northern Plzeň Region is housed in the former Cistercian priory of Mariánská Týnice near Kralovice, designed by the baroque architect Jan Blažej Santini. The museum has been based here since 1952; in 2018 the complex was listed as a national cultural monument and is owned by the Plzeň Region. Permanent exhibitions cover ethnography, urban life and the baroque heritage of the area, while temporary shows and concerts take place in the former monastery refectory. The museum received the Gloria musaealis award for its permanent exhibition.

About: Míla Myslíková

Czech actress Míla Myslíková (1933-2005) is one of the defining faces of Czechoslovak screen comedy - remembered above all for the tireless mother Šafránková in Klein's poet series and for the sharp-tongued Mrs. Kroupová in Marečku, podejte mi pero! (1976). Her career spanned four decades on stage and screen, totalling more than 90 roles.

About: Rudolf Hrušínský

Rudolf Hrušínský (1920-1994) left a mark on Czech cinema that has not faded: his Švejk, the chilling Kopfrkingl of The Cremator, and the languid Antonín of Capricious Summer are fixtures of the national cultural memory. A career stretching six decades, more than 200 screen roles, and honors ranging from the Sitges festival to France's Legion of Honor tell the story.
