Muzeum nové generace, Museu em Žďár nad Sázavou, República Checa
Muzeum nové generace is a museum in Žďár nad Sázavou spread across two floors of a former castle brewery building that presents two historical periods. The ground floor shows Cistercian life in the Middle Ages, while the upper floor presents the Baroque period with artworks from the National Gallery in Prague.
The building was originally a castle brewery and was converted for the museum's opening in 2015 to preserve the history of the Cistercian monastery and the Baroque period. The exhibits tell of notable figures like Abbot Vejmlava and architect Jan Blažej Santini Aichel, who shaped the religious and artistic life of the region.
The name 'nová generace' reflects the idea that history can reach new generations through modern technology. Visitors can see how Cistercian life and Baroque art unfolded in this area, making the museum a place where history comes alive and people of all ages can experience it directly.
Visitors receive headphones with an audioguide in five languages upon arrival, which leads through the exhibits and allows visitors to set their own pace. The museum is fully wheelchair accessible and allows dogs, making it accessible for families and people with different needs.
A distinctive feature is the kaleidoscope experience, through which visitors can immerse themselves in a world of colors and shapes and understand how people shape their environment. This interactive element stands out and shows how creatively the exhibition was designed to draw both children and adults into the historical world.
