collection of sculptures
The sculpture collection, including medals and plaquettes, currently has 361 items that outline the history of Czech sculpture.
Social art is covered systematically, as is the work of the artists from the post-war Route group. For the most part these are sculptures of relatively modest dimensions, and as well as final works the collection includes models for larger sculptures. Plaquettes are mostly by Otakar Španiel and Jan Tomáš Fischer. The materials most frequently used are bronze, plaster and stone, followed by wood, ceramic, tin and glass. The collection includes a group of alternative ceramic “touch sculptures” made by blind artists.
