The Depiction of Biblical Stories in Renaissance Manuscripts
November 19, 2015 – January 3, 2016
Closed: 24th and 31st December 2015
Invitation - Opening ceremony - Photogallery
The exhibition features selected music manuscripts, hymn books and graduals from the collections of the National Library of the CR. These manuscripts were used for singing on the choirs of town churches in the 16th centuries. They were made to order of wealthy and educated burgers, craft guilds as well as representatives of higher and lower nobility, who had sometimes their portraits, coat-of-arrms or guild signs depicted on individual folios.
The display is intended to show different illuminations of choral manuscripts from the point of view of countless number of iconographic motifs, which themselves represent a sampler of biblical iconography.

Famous Buildings of the Lurago Family in Bohemia
December 15, 2015 – January 14, 2016
In 2015 it passed 400 years since the birth of Carlo Lurago, and 250 years since the death of Anselmo Lurago, two eminent Italian architects, who lived and worked in Prague and the Czech lands. They belonged to the extended family of Luragos, coming from Northern Italy and to a large family of Italian bricklayers, stonemasons, builders and architects, who indelibly entered the list of architectural heritage of our country.
The exhibition provides virtual wandering around buildings of Carlo and Anselmo Luragos in individual Czech regions, towns and sites, and features at least part of unique architectural and cultural heritage, preserved up to the present days. It has been organised by the Kotěra Centre of Architecture.
