Description was written before the event

The Flower Garden in Kroměříž is one of the most significant historical gardens in Central Europe. This geometrically composed complex, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, was created in the 17th century as a representative space for the Olomouc bishops and continues to enchant with its thoughtful symbolism, architecture, and rich ornamentation.

About the venue: Liliová 5, Praha 1

The house "U Voříkovských", on the corner of Liliová and Zlatá streets, is a medieval townhouse with a history going back at least to 1329, when its owner Perchta of Dubá bequeathed it to the nearby Dominican convent. After two years of construction work, a model heritage restoration was completed in 2017 and the building became a workplace of the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ). The public can use the NPÚ's central library - specialising in art history, architecture and heritage conservation - as well as a research room and a lecture hall.
