Permanent Exhibition of Religious Art

Many of the displayed religious exhibits at the same time represent works of folk crafts. And although they are not technically accomplished our ancestors intended them as an honest prayer and expression of devotion to God and the saints. The official opening of the Kozlovice exhibition of religious art (9th October 2007 on the occasion of the St Wenceslas’ Music Festival) resumes the respected tradition and history of the heritage of our ancestors.

As regards the collection of religious paintings displayed in the Kozlovice exhibition it is worth mentioning e.g. a large painting of St. Vincent from the 18th century, or the so-called “Victorious Church”, an oil painting on canvas, also from the 18th century. Another unique exhibit is the cycle of the Stations of the Cross from the 19th century, painted on canvas. The so-called home altars from the south of Moravia dating back to 19th and 20th century or votive Ex Votto paintings (meaning “from the vow made”) painted on wooden tablets from the turn of the 17th and 18th century. Other valuable exhibits include the so-called Crafted Bottles – works of 19th century folk art, mainly portraying the Calvary. The exhibition also features exclusive old prints such as St. Wenceslas Czech Catholic Bible from 1677, printed in Prague, or the unique medieval Gothic missal dating back to the 15th century as well as the so-called Wroclaw Missal from 1505.

Primary School Exhibition

Classroom, school office and teacher’s room of the turn of 19th and 20th cent.

The term “Primary school” originally stood for folk and national school comprising lower grades (1st – 5th grade) which was established in accordance with school law of 1869 and 1883. The Primary School Exhibition in the premises of the former Kozlovicke bailiff’s house was inspired by the fact that in the original wooden cottage that used to stand at this very location, the so-called Trivial School was opened in 1785, where three basic subjects were taught: writing, counting and religion. Upon entering the left tract of the building, suddenly, as if by a whip of a cane (indeed, a requisite exhibit on display), you find yourself at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. In the centre of the classroom you can find original wooden bentwood benches produced by the Mimoň factory of D. G. Fischel Söhne. Scientific and geographical pictures on the walls, esp. remarkable collections of Amerling’s didactic images published in 1850 – 1865 provide the exhibition with a high degree of authenticity. The discipline in the class is guarded by a crucifix (consecrated by the bishop of Ostrava-Opava F. V. Lobkowicz on the occasion of the ceremonial opening of the Museum in 2006) and the image of the monarch.

The atmosphere of the period is palpable also in the office of the primary school teacher and his private apartment. Nevertheless, you can meet the teacher in person – in a “demonstrative lesson on national history” ordered by arrangement – or in the form of an incredibly lifelike figure reading through national prints.
