Three Capuchin Fragrances exhibition of children's works

The first exhibition project in the newly opened Loreto bridge is the children's work from the private art school "Orphenica" at Pohořelec by Loreto. It is amazing how children inspire the nearby Loreto and the Capuchin monastery!

Drawings, paintings, but also ceramics of children are inspired by local history, some work directly responds to our current seasonal exhibition "Pax et Bonum, Capuchins in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia 1618-2018". The exhibition brings a fresh children's view of interesting historical events. Particularly remarkable is the processing of existential topics of life and death, directly inspired by Baroque painting of the skeleton at the door of the former Capuchin Pharmacy, a work the visitor can see during an exhibition on the 1st floor of the cloister.
