The Bohemian Crown Jewels are part of the national cultural heritage of the neighboring Czech Republic and are rarely brought to light. For less than two weeks, visitors now have the opportunity to see the precious masterpieces of the jeweler's and goldsmith's art with their own eyes in the original. The show is initially only open to schools, then from this Thursday (September 18) to the general public. Admission is free of charge.
Seven high dignitaries, who traditionally hold the keys, including President Petr Pavel and the Archbishop of Prague, Jan Graubner, came together to bring out the precious pieces. The glittering regalia include the Wenceslas crown from 1346, the orb and sceptre as well as a coronation mantle. The exhibition in the Vladislav Hall of Prague Castle ends on September 29. The crown jewels will then be returned to the treasury in St. Vitus Cathedral.
