ZIBA Prague Glass Experience Museum

An immersive and inspiring glass experience, ZIBA Prague Glass Experience Museum will connect the phenomenon of glass in art and this multifaceted material’s applications in design, craft, technology, architecture and other creative disciplines across industry, education and entertainment. ZIBA will open its doors in 2016 in the former Zemská and Živnostenská Banka building in the center of Prague. www.ziba.cz

Beyond the center’s three individual exhibitions showcasing a permanent exhibition of contemporary Czech and international glassmaking, ZIBA will also offer leading glassmaking brands, a hot glass show, café, restarant as well as accompanying educational programs, events and services for local and international visitors. 

The ZIBA name is an abbreviation once used as the banking code for Živnostenská Banka, the iconic institution headquartered in this striking Neo-Renaissance style building for nearly half a century, contributing to its historic significance.
