Czech glass artist Jiří Pačinek is one of the world's elite hand-blown glass masters. He became famous among other things for his glass sculptures for the American film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. He will be showcasing his art at a monumental exhibition in the Botanical Garden in Prague.
Magic Garden
Dozens of fantastic installations by glassmaker Jiří Pačinek await you in and around the Ornamental Garden. The garden is open during the day and after dark, when the impressive play of light and shadow will make for a truly unique artistic experience.During the winter, the crystal garden will be lit up by weird glass flowers, plants and animals made by glassmaker Jiří Pačinek and his colleagues from the Pačinek Glass factory in Kunratice near Cvikov. You’ll also see a demonstration of glass ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arranging) and the largest illuminated tree in Prague. Underneath it there will be a crystal nativity scene, where you can take a photo and become a beautiful angel for a while.
The exhibition will also include an audiovisual and musical show.
