Mountains and Monastery. Krkonoše Museum in Vrchlabí Šárka Malá, Roman Koucký / koucky-arch.cz

The Krkonoše Museum in Vrchlabí was founded in 1883 by the Austrian Krkonoše Association and has been housed in a former Augustinian monastery since 1966. Ecclesiastical architecture does not lend itself well to contemporary museum exhibitions. The recent renovation therefore required a highly sensitive approach—one that would preserve the monastery’s architectural and historical value, while carving out space for a contemporary retelling of the story of the mountains. To accommodate a lecture hall, museum shop, elevator, and visitor facilities, a new concrete entrance structure was added—its form evoking a rugged rock formation. The entire visitor route has been reorganized, too. The cloister garth plays a unique role, both in the exhibition and in the monastery’s architecture, symbolizing the Earth’s connection to the Universe and its spiritual essence.
