The School Museum of Restoration and Historic Technologies

The museum was opened in 1998, after the medieval Red Tower located on the school premises has been transformed to accommodate an exhibition area and depository. The museum represents a unique project even in European context. In accordance with the study programmes, the museum displays the school collections of historic technologies in architecture, decorative arts and book culture. Expositions are focused on individual restoration intervention issues, the understanding of materials used in the past, and old artworks depicting architecture or ancient crafts. Expositions are created with students’ active participation. The tower has an accessible gallery with a view over the city.


From July to September, the exposition is opened for public; during winter and summer semesters, the visit to the tower has to be pre-booked.


The museum collections contain especially tangible examples of historic technologies used in architecture and fine arts. The museum organizes a voluntary, yet purposeful collecting of this group of objects. In rare cases, the purchase of the objects is possible.

The collections of historic technologies contain especially:

  • transfers, historic plasters, artificial marble
  • bricks and other ceramics made of fired clay
  • samples of stone decay
  • samples of stone polychrome (including pigment and base extraction)
  • wooden construction elements in architecture and other fine arts
  • objects made of various metals
  • paper and book-culture objects
  • a separate collection of the history of bookbinding

Electronic catalogue of collections is available from http://museum.upce.cz
