👉 https://muzeumkarlazemana.cz/online-vstupenky 👈 I'm looking for terra incognita, a land on which no filmmaker has yet set foot, a planet where no director has planted his flag of conquest, a world that
exists only in fairy tales.‟ – Karel Zeman
Welcome to the Karel Zeman Museum! The museum maps the life and work of Karel Zeman from its beginnings – from his first animations and puppet films in the 1940’s to his work in his last creative period. A substantial part of the museum is dedicated to his most significant films – Journey to Prehistory, An Invention for Destruction, and Baron Munchausen. The museum’s playful approach to the exhibition is unique, it allows visitors to participate directly - to try out with their own photo and video cameras selected special-effect techniques that Zeman used in his films. The individual rooms of the museum are conceived as movie studios, and there are small stages with backdrops which visitors can step into and shoot their scenes. They can take a ride on a flying machine, or walk around the moon like Baron Munchausen, or take the controls of the famous submarine from “An Invention for Destruction.”
Also part of the exhibition are previously unpublished photographs, original puppets, and other documentary materials from the life and work of this visionary filmmaker. The museum is an interactive and playful place focused on families with children from the Czech Republic and abroad. In the long term, the museum will become an institute preserving and promoting the legacy of the director and fine artist Karel Zeman, offering a wide range of activities for the general public and for specialists from the Czech Republic and abroad.
