One of the stranger scultures in the museum is on the front portal, of a miniature figure standing in the hand of another figure. An earlier draft of this statue, in much smaller size, can be seen inside the museum.

The "Muzeum vychodnich Cech," or Museum of Eastern Bohemia, is as well known for its cubist architecture as for what's in it (although it is a decent museum for the area). It was designed by Jan Kotera (a common misconception, formerly held by me, was that it was designed by Josef Gocar, who designed some of the older suburbs), and completed in 1912. The exhibits are mostly historical in nature, stretching from the Stone Age to the mid-20th Century.

Rebuilt Brewery, Hradec Kralove, Kralovehradecky K…

This old brewery was nothing but a ruin the last time I photographed it four years ago or so. Now it's been fully rebuilt into the "Regiocentrum Nový Pivovar," which according to what I've found online, is "multi-functional." I didn't have a chance on this trip to investigate what that really means, though. A few breweries, surprisingly, still function around Hradec Kralove, but I'm assuming that they don't use this old facility.
