Mirror of the past – long-term exhibition
The exhibition links on from the ethnographical exhibition and presents a cross-section of the rich collections of the Museum of the Podblanicko Region. With more than 420 exhibits, the museum provides an insight into the variety of the everyday life of our ancestors. One interesting exhibit is the bar counter dating back to the end of the 19th century, which was saved from the now defunct pub in Růžkovy Lhotice by Čechtice. The exhibition was opened to the public in June 2001 on the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the foundation of the Museum of the Podblanicko Region.
