Treasury and Tourist Infocentre Novopacko - F. F. Procházky 70

The mineralogical and petrographic collections of the Novopacky Museum are based on exhibits from private and school collections, created since the middle of the 19th century, and these collections are constantly being supplemented. In order for these extensive collections to be properly stored and exhibited, a separate Klenotnice building was built for them, which was opened in 1996. In 2010-2012, the entire building underwent extensive construction modifications. During these modifications, the construction of the lift ensured barrier-free access to all floors of Klenotnice and the exhibition spaces were also significantly expanded. In addition, an information center was set up on the ground floor. The hall on the ground floor of Klenotnice is dedicated to the geological development of the Earth, documented by numerous petrographic and paleontological exhibits, mainly from the Podkrkonoší region. A not insignificant part of these exhibits are examples of fossilized plants - araucarites, whose finds are Novopacko famous. The exhibition also includes an exposition of volcanism, supplemented by appropriate examples and a map of the geological subsoil of the Krkonoše Mountains. The first floor of Klenotnice is filled with collections of precious stones, created at Novopack over the years and supplemented by donations from private collectors. The exhibits are dominated by agates, amethysts and jaspers, or other siliceous materials from the Giant Mountains. Well-known mineralogical localities in this area are documented in the collections with the help of individual examples, such as Libuň, Doubravice, Kněžnice, Cidlina, Železnice, Morcinov, Levín, Stará Paka, Rovně, Kozákov, Kumburský Újezd ​​and others. Of particular interest are samples of stellar quartz (starfish) from a site of European importance on the Strážník hill near Peřimov. The exhibition also includes samples of agates from some parts of the world. The exposition on the top floor of the Klenotnice building belongs to a specific phenomenon of culture and life of the inhabitants of the Krkonoše foothills - the history of spiritualism in this area of ​​Bohemia.
