Dolphin Treasure is essentially made up of two groups of parts, made of rock crystal and hard stones or also called color gems (jade, lapis lazuli, jasper, turquoise, agate ...).

The ornamentation is very rich in terms of time and in many cases are worked with gold and silver plated adorned with rubies, emeralds, sapphires, topaz and other precious stones.

This visit requires certainly a thorough walk through these rooms to admire the beautiful historical and artistic legacy that treasure.

Each visit also guarantees a surprise, a piece that had gone unnoticed, a beautiful ornament that has not been appreciated, a new color, a different shade, a unique feeling.

Palace Světlá nad Vltavou, Czech Republic, currently under restoration, glass houses the most extensive exhibition of the history. The Glass European History Exhibition displays over 1,100 objects made between the Baroque and twentieth century.

Currently the collection remain in Světlá five years, but after this period the contract can be renewed.

The director of the Museum of Applied Arts, Helena Koenigsmarková, highlights the special event.

Thus, the space that houses the collection also becomes an incentive for visitors.

The palace was two years Světlá partly occupied by a school of arts and crafts and suffered some deterioration ago.

The family bought Degerme for mayor last year for 620,000 euros and immediately began work.

The goal of the new owners is to make the building a cultural center, says Helena Degerme.

"We will put the building in operation. I had never been open to the public in such a broad way. " The restoration work should be completed in 2020 and will not interfere with the activities in the already completed parts.

Thus, museum, palace Světlá nad Vltavou will become a tourist center and yet in a historic building tours.

There will also be a hotel and restaurants.

The work will cost about 3.6 million euros, the new owners expect to pay in part by European funds.
