Wenzel-Hablik-Museum

Wenzel-Hablik-Museum houses the work of an artist who engaged with early modern movements in a historic protected merchant house. The collection spans paintings, hand drawings, and decorative objects that show the breadth of his artistic interests.

The artist created his work during the first half of the twentieth century, with his interests evolving from early modern design toward painting. The museum itself came later when his family transferred his life's work to a foundation and established it in this protected historic building.

The collection reflects how this artist engaged with early modern art movements and how his imagery of cosmic themes and architectural forms continues to speak to visitors today. The setting within a historic merchant house creates a direct link between the artwork and the environment where it was created.

The building sits in the town center and is easy to reach on foot, with straightforward access to the exhibition spaces. Visitors should be prepared for stairs, as the works are spread across multiple levels of the house.

Beyond paintings and drawings, the museum holds unusual objects including crystalline structures, shell collections, and metal animal sculptures. These items reveal that the artist experimented with form and material in unexpected ways, not limiting himself to traditional painting alone.
