diocesean museum

We enjoyed this visit. So much catholic history and art. 90 crowns - Fransiscan Monestary and Museum of Ecclesiastical Art. We had a guide (she didn't speak much English but was so kind and near the end she engaged a young woman who kindly translated for us).

This excellent antient art museum is hidden within old medieval walls of the Franciscan Monastery which is located in the very centre of the city just a hundred meters south of the main Square of the Republic. Exhibits feature old sculpures and paintings related to the christian faith. The St. Barbara chapel is a unique examlpe of gothic frescoes. Tha monastery and museum are worth the visit.

Gothic, Renaissance and baroque sculpture Art permanent exhibition, collection of works from the Museum of fine arts, which points out to the roots and of "Christian people in relation to God, man and world", magnificent St. Barbara chapel with very rare Gothic frescoes dating back to 1460, the exhibition hall in the Baroque dining room, in my opinion one of the best musea in its kind ever seen!

This museum is a must for all travelers. It is located in the Franciscan Monastery located in Pl zen, Czech Republic. The relics in this museum and painting and sculptures are hundreds of years old. A testament to the faith of people in God, Goodness, and Hope. It is currently managed by Franciscan Monks and Nuns. If your would like to have a free tour please contact me, an American Expatriate. Contact me by email kressg@yahoo.com and I will be delighted to guide you at no cost. There are many other sights to see, the Cathedral built before Columbus Discovered America, the Russian Orthodox Church. The Lutheran Church and school and the Roman Catholic High School to name a few.

カトリック教会とピルゼン市が共同して開設した博物館。なぜここに多くのキリスト教関係の歴史的資料が集められたか考えてほしい。ドイツ人追放による信者の激減、続く共産主義によるキリスト教への圧迫などによって、多くの教会が荒廃し、幾つかの寺院は爆破されたりした（その瞬間の写真等も残されていた）。　その中で残されたものが集められている。カトリック教会としては各主教区の存続・再興の足がかりとしても機能させたい意向だ。

C'est vraiment un super musée. Toutes les explications sont bilingues (Tchèque / Anglais), précises, et le fil de l'histoire à travers le cloître est magistralement tiré à la règle. Vous y trouverez nombreuses statues gothiques, renaissances et baroques, nettement moins de tableaux, mais les 3 géants (Brandl, Skreta et Reiner) méritent assurément le détour. Ne manquez pas la salle du chapitre, décorée de fresques XVe siècle. Elle est fabuleux, et mérite à elle seule une bonne demi-heure de contemplation afin d'en apprécier tous les détails. Ne manquez ce musée sous aucun prétexte.
