„My life was dancing, singing, merriness, but also work and work.“ The life story of Františka Černá, the ethnographic collector and founder of the Wallachian ensemble RusavaStudie

Kateřina Nečacká

Acta musealia 2025/1  

The study deals with the life of Františka Černá (1875–1967). She was a woman originally from the Wallachian village of Rusava who was dedicated to collecting ethnographic objects. She also founded the Wallachian ensemble Rusava and initiated the creation of the first museum in Rusava. Thanks to her activities, Františka Černá represents an important figure not only within her native village, but also from the perspective of the wider region.

Personnel changes in the elected bodies of the Local/Municipal National Committee in Kroměříž at the turning points of the communist regime (1948, 1968, 1989)Studie

Acta musealia 2025/1  

In the ‘life’ of non-democratic political regimes, their beginnings (associated with the seizure and stabilization of power), as well as their endings and often also major internal crises, are inevitably accompanied by personnel changes at all levels of power. The representative bodies during the 41 years of communist rule in Czechoslovakia were no exception to this rule, having gone through three periods of significant personnel changes (after 1948, after 1968 and after 1989) during these four decades. The presented text deals with this topic at the local level, using the example of the Municipal National Committee in Kroměříž.

Aleš Naňák

Acta musealia 2025/1  

The article is focused on four stone-carving workshops operating in East Moravia between 1850 and 1940, with the stone-carving masters Jan Trňák from Uherský Brod, František Ekart from Štípa, Jaroslav Lužný from Uherský Brod and Josef Topenčík from Uherské Hradiště and their preserved and recognized elements of small sacral architecture complementing the set of already described sctone-carving workshops of the given period and area. The author presents basic biographical data for each of the monitored masters, places them at least partially in the socio-cultural context and focuses on the preserved elements of the production of their workshops.

Aleš Naňák

Acta musealia 2024/1 | DOI: 10.62317/amu.2024.015  

Abstract: The article deals with the circumstances of the creation of the stone Stations of the Cross built in 1917 at the Baroque Church of Our Lady of the Snows in Maleniska near Provodovo.

This intention is then traced through the lens of the surviving correspondence with the superior church authority and the contractor of the work. Another remarkable...

Petr Liďák

Acta musealia 2024/1 | DOI: 10.62317/amu.2024.014  

The Wallachian Museum of Nature in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm is currently building a new fourth area called Kolibiska, which presents life and farming in the mountain areas of Wallachia and the Silesian part of Těšín. The first part was opened to the public in 2023. It also includes a set of barns from Nový Hrozenkov, which were used in the past for the seasonal housing of cattle in mountain pastures, thirty minutes or more walk from the farmstead. They were transferred to the museum in recent years and document a now defunct farming method based on intensive use of meadows and pastures. The paper presents two examples of barns, introducing their history,...

Glass innovator Emanuel Tylčer and the so-called T-decorationsStudie

Olga Méhešová

Acta musealia 2024/1 | DOI: 10.62317/amu.2024.011  

T-decors are specific sculptural motifs that were used to decorate utilitarian - drinking, table and decorative glass produced in Karolinka glassworks and later also in the associated plants of the Moravian Glassworks in Květná and Vrbno. The name of the decors was derived from the surname of Emanuel Tylcer (1905-1978) - the originator of three inventions for innovative glass refinement, which were published in Czechoslovakia in 1955, 1976 and 1978. During his career, Tylčer rose to senior technical positions and contributed to the rationalisation and modernisation of manual glass production. In his profession he managed to combine the activities of...
