Exhibition on Santini opens at Prague’s National Technical Museum

An exhibition marking 300 years since the death of the great architect Jan Blažej Santini Aichel opens at the National Technical Museum in Prague on Thursday.

Called Santini and the World of His Architecture, the exhibition is linked to the Santini 2023 conference, held by the National Heritage Institute at the Prague Crossroads centre on Thursday.

The Prague-born architect of Italian origin is known for his Baroque Gothic style. Among his most famous works is the church of St John of Nepomuk on Zelená Hora near Žďár nad Sázavou, which is on the UNESCO world heritage list.
