Exhibition "From Šenov cottages to the palaces of the world"
The exhibition is dedicated to important families of Šenov glass merchants. It was created in cooperation with the Sonow association, which, among other things, takes care of the so-called Old Glass Cemetery, where members of old glass-making families were buried in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Among other things, the exhibition includes a rare example of the first industrially produced globe that can be illuminated from the inside.
The glass refinery Stelzig, Kittel & Co. located in Kamenický Šenov (former German name: Steinschönau) produced and distributed coloured lampshades for kerosene lamps designed as terrestrial and celestial globes in the second half of the 19th century.
