At the intersection of Pobedonosnaya Street with Masarykovo and Lazenskaya there is another historic building - the former swimming pools of Emperor Franz Joseph I. At the request of the company Johann Liebieg & Co and the Savings Bank Liberec, a competition was announced for the best bathing project. The victory was won by the Viennese architect Peter Paul Brang. According to sources, the construction of the baths lasted two years, from 1900 to 1902. The building of the baths was built in the Neo-Renaissance style using modern elements. At the grand opening, which took place on March 17, 1902, not only city dwellers, but also honored guests from Vienna and Prague gathered. The baths were named after Emperor Franz Joseph I, which was timed to the 50th anniversary of his reign. Until 1986, the building was used for its intended purpose. After 1986, the baths were closed. The building gradually began to collapse. To save the historical monument, the city bought it from a private owner and in 2011-2013, restoration work was carried out here. According to the original draft, it was planned to organize a SPA center in it. But, after long discussions, it was decided to transfer the Liberec Regional Gallery here. So, on February 28, 2014, in the former swimming pools of Emperor Franz Joseph I, exhibition halls opened, in which the collection of art and painting of Heinrich von Liebig was presented as a permanent exhibition, which he donated to the city. Today there are several exhibition halls in which paintings and art objects from different eras are represented. A very interesting exhibition of contemporary art. In addition, the museum has an interactive platform where visitors can display their talents in the field of artistic art.
