Libenský & Brychtová – Pioneers of modern glass art

The Glass Museum showcases works by Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, two leading pioneers of Czech glass art. Through their innovative work, they transformed glass from a utilitarian and decorative material into a medium of its own right within the visual arts.

In 1958, they presented sculptures made of moulded glass for the first time at the World’s Fair in Brussels. Their works combine geometric forms, light and optical effects. In doing so, they used glass to create striking colour intensities and a sense of spatial depth. Their collaboration had a lasting influence on modern glass art. From 16. Jun 2026 until 31. Oct 2026.
