One of the themes of the Lapidarium exhibition (as the title suggests) is sculpture itself. By means of mutual artistic and curatorial collaboration between the youngest, intermediate and oldest generations of sculptors and other artists with a relationship to sculpture, the exhibition seeks to examine what has been happening in Czech sculpture since the time of delimitation of the sculpture and the object, the expanded field of sculpture of the 1970s and the unobtrusive and hybrid forms of the turn of the Old and New Millennia.

The Lapidarium is a place for the preservation of sculptural and architectonic fragments whose value has been acknowledged by experts. The character of such a space therefore encourages a certain amount of retrospection, though it is not in this case a matter of preserving or even discarding already established forms or content or even of recycling them. On the contrary, precisely selected works of art will be placed next to each other in such a way as to be capable of communicating from a contemporary perspective.

The specific space below the Bethlehem Chapel is a beautiful underground landscape, to which we adapted the spatial arrangement in the form of a peripatetic layout. The exhibition is composed as a linear, branching installation with quality viewing pathways leading the spectator through a cultural landscape.
