<html>The Krkonoš Museum in Vrchlabí has closed its doors; it is awaiting reconstruction.</html>

The main museum exhibition, Stone and Life, was set up in seventeen rooms of the monastery in 1984. At the time, it appeared very timeless and modern. Over its 34 years, it has been visited by more than a million people. The exhibition Man and the Mountains has been on display in the monastery's cloister since 1995. The museum takes care of more than 32,000 collection items.
The monastery belongs to the Krkonoš National Park, which plans to renovate and transform the area into a visitor center for the Krkonoš National Park by the end of 2021 at a cost of approximately 140 million crowns. The park administration seeks to obtain a grant for the construction from EU funds, said KRNAP spokesman Radek Drahný to ČTK.
The planned visitor center should provide information about the past and present of the Krkonoš in the most understandable way and motivate people to explore the mountains and protect them. It should also take on the role of a traditional museum.
The new interactive exhibition is expected to tell the story of nature and people in the mountains. The exhibition will have several levels, and it will be up to the visitor how deeply they want to explore the information offered. "The exhibition should be so rich in information that visitors would return and spend even several days in the visitor center," Drahný said.
In addition to the new exhibition, the museum will also offer opportunities for organizing concerts, festivals, theater performances, and outdoor lectures. Plans include the construction of a new entrance to the building, a research room, or a café.
In addition to the museum in the Vrchlabí monastery, KRNAP also operates a museum exhibition in four historic houses in Míru Square. KRNAP has additional museums in Jilemnice, Paseky nad Jizerou, and Harrachov.
