Exposure: the image as a seen word
In addition to the popular tours of Bohuslav Martinů's birthplace in the tower of the Church of St. James, it is now also possible to see the newly built exhibition - The Picture as the Seen Word. These are artistically valuable and previously unknown to the public paintings, sculptures and books from the deanery of Polička.

The exhibition content information panels.
