Sklářské muzeum v Novém Boru

Sklářské muzeum v Novém Boru, Glass museum in Nový Bor, Czech Republic.

The museum in Nový Bor displays glass objects in many styles, from traditional Bohemian craft to modern creations. The collection includes the tools and machines used in production, showing how techniques changed over time.

The museum opened in May 1893 in Nový Bor town hall, founded by the Association of Glass Workers with the town council's support. In 1952 it moved to house no. 105 on náměstí Míru, built in 1804 by glass merchant Johann Christoph Socher after thirteen years selling Czech glass in Mexico. A two-storey extension linking the museum with the archive opened in 2011.

The museum's collection grew from donations by local glassmakers and traders in the 1890s, and from the 1930s through glass competitions it organised. Since 1994 it has held the triennial competition "Craft and Art in Glass Nový Bor", and the entrance portal bears an anchor, a symbol of overseas glass exports.

The museum stands on náměstí Míru, the town's main square, which is also the main signpost for hiking and cycling routes; the train and bus stations are about 1 km away, and several bus lines stop on the square. The building was reconstructed in 1998–1999, and a two-storey extension opened in 2011 with a depository and a space for temporary exhibitions. Glassware, glass jewellery, specialist publications and small souvenirs are on sale.

The museum displays tools and equipment from different time periods, documenting how glass production methods evolved. This focus on the development of technologies is rare among glass museums.
