Dears Czech glass friends,
here are the pictures from exhibition of Czech glass just running in Lommel (Belgium).
http://picasaweb.google.cz/Jindra8526/CzechGlassLommel2010# Lommel can be reached by car from Calais within 2.5 hours even with keeping all speed limits, it has been checked :-)
Exhibition will continue up to the 20th March 2011, photographing is strictly forbiden, I was conditionaly allowed becouse I am Czech and had to travel so far to see this event. I am very happy with this exhibition, it gives great overview about Czech studio glass of last quater of century.
The entrance fee is 3 Euro only.
Adjacent to exhibition hall is glassmaking studio, some conterporary glass can be bought there as well.
I am glad that I have made a little detour on may way back home from UK, I really can recommend to everybody to see it, such complete collection of modern Czech glass can be seen only in Pardubice museum in Czech republic.
Jindrich
