BASIC AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The story of the Fata Morgana Greenhouse began in 1993 when Jiří Haager won the directorship competition, boldly proclaiming that a botanical garden without a tropical greenhouse lacks authenticity. His words were more than just rhetoric and a mere ten years later, the current Fata Morgana Greenhouse was inaugurated.
Since then, visitors have marveled at how quickly tropical plants can conquer their space, thriving and blooming.
Through videos and photographs, we will tell you the story of erecting a greenhouse amidst rocky slopes, creating within it the largest freshwater reservoir in Czechia, and adorning the greenhouse with an astonishing array of nearly 5,000 plant species.
Expeditions to far-flung corners of the globe are an indispensable aspect of professional botanical endeavors. As such, the exhibition will also showcase captivating photographs and records from these intrepid journeys spanning the planet.
When and where
The exhibition occurs from 17 May to 31 August in the Exhibition Hall (Ornamental Garden).
