New exhibition at the castle in Litomyšl
Premiere type: Monuments and history. We recommend for: Holidays with children, Relaxing holiday.
Announced: August 2008
The exhibition at Litomyšl castle is dedicated primarily to historic keyboard instruments and the castle theatre. In addition to the unique collection of pians, theatre backcloths and curtains, exceptionally valuable works of art that were previously stored in the inaccessible castle depository have been installed in five large halls. These include a collection of baroque portraits, tapestries, historic mirrors, a part of the Delftware collection and other remarkable works of art.
The Litomyšl Castle, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Landmark, is one of the main dominant features of the city and one of the most significant renaissance monuments in the Czech Republic. The history of the settlement of the castle hill, and later of the castle itself, is inseparably linked to the entire history and existence of the city.
Every year, at the end of June and beginning of July, the second courtyard of Litomyšl Castle resounds with the music of famous composers. The Smetana Litomyšl International Opera Festival that provides this extraordinary artistic experience is a musical event acclaimed both at home and abroad. Thousands of people from around the world come to Litomyšl at this time of year to listen to the excellent performances of leading Czech and world performers.
