Those who want to know more about the Bohemian spa guests and their daily routine can visit the special exhibition "Luxury, Wellness, Porcelain - A Day at the Bohemian Spa". Two free guided tours take place at 11:00 and 14:00. In the afternoon, even with Princess Marie in costume. There is the everyday spa life of the 19th century to discover. Many famous personalities, such as Elisabeth of Austria, known as "Sisi", and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe travelled to Bohemia and enjoyed their stay at extended banquets. The porcelain objects made by Bohemian manufacturers bear witness to this. Whether mugs, cups or pipes, many things were elaborately crafted and imaginatively painted. The numerous listening stations and hands-on activities invite visitors to join in, and those who prefer a more cosy atmosphere can take a seat with stagecoach driver Wenzel Wolfert and listen to stories about the high society of the time. So there is something for everyone.
