Galerie NATURA

Exhibition: Open Air Museum

The exhibition shows the land cover changes and human activity legacy in the landscape. The visitors will see the settlements that have been abandoned after the displacement of mostly German-speaking residents. You will learn, for example, which plants came out of this battle as winners and which ones as losers. We connected it with a virtual excursion via current issues of our landscape.
The exhibition was prepared by scientists from the Institute of Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences in Průhonice, Faculty of Environmental Sciences of the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem and Technical University of Dresden with the help of remote sensing techniques and many field surveys. Part of their work are also recommendations of management for nature conservation and local authorities.
The exhibition was created for the project Memory of Landscape of Czech-Saxon Switzerland within the framework of the program Czech-Saxony Free State of Saxony Interreg V A / 2014–2020 with the contribution of the AV21 Strategy.

The exhibiom is open September – October 2019.
