Železný Brod in Times Past

The exhibition Železný Brod in Times Past, part of the museum's ethnographic exposition, presents a unique collection of historical photographs by Ing. Karel Ježek, a prominent amateur photographer from Železný Brod. His pictures capture not only Železný Brod but also its wider surroundings. He had an eye for interesting corners and architecture, while also documenting the everyday life of the town’s inhabitants in the 1930s–1950s. Thanks to a recent donation from the Ježek family, the public now has the opportunity to glimpse the past through dozens of restored prints, from which we have selected images of Železný Brod for this exhibition. Come and discover the beauty of the town as seen through the eyes of perceptive observer and passionate photographer Karel Ježek. You can visit the exhibition in our ethnographic exposition at Běliště from March 1 to April 27, 2025.
