Christmas exhibition Nativity scenes

The traditional Nativity scenes exhibition will be held at the Mitrovský Summer Palace from December 1, 2026, to January 10, 2027.

As always, this 19th edition of the event will showcase Nativity scenes of various types and sizes, ranging from historical pieces to contemporary works. For only the second time, we will display the “Summer Palace” Nativity scene—a hand-carved linden-wood creation featuring the iconic structure of Brno’s last remaining summer palace.

A special highlight of the exhibition is the collection of Třešť-style Nativity scenes, crafted and assembled over several years by Tomáš Pavlík from Ivančice. His massive Nativity scene—featuring one hundred figures and an equal number of sheep, measuring approximately 5 meters in length, 2.5 meters in depth, and 2 meters in height—will serve as the centerpiece and crowning glory of this year’s exhibition. The same artist will also present two additional examples—slightly smaller, yet equally beautiful.

Due to popular demand, we are once again exhibiting the largest Czech diorama themed around the Life of Jesus Christ (featuring 105 figures made of sheep’s wool).

The exhibition also includes decorated Christmas trees and floral arrangements created by professional designers.
