Journey to the Aš Nativity Scene - opening

UNDER THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

Come and stop for a moment, enjoy the beauty of the nativity scenes and welcome the approaching Christmas time with us. The Aš fire station will light up with Christmas stories, winter pictures and children's singing. An evening full of lovely meetings and small joys that belong to this season awaits us.

The grand opening will take place on November 26, 2026 at 5 p.m.
Aš Museum, Poštovní náměstí 1 (fire station)
The nativity scene exhibition will be on display until the end of 2026.

The heart of the exhibition will be the nativity scenes – each a little different, each with its own magic. They will remind us of the Christmas story and the imagination and skill of those who put their time and heart into their creation.

The museum corridor will be transformed into a small winter gallery. Mr. Josef Vieweg, who has been capturing these ephemeral snow figures for thirty years, will present his photographs of snowmen. The enlarged photographs will bring the snowmen back to life, many of which have long since melted, but thanks to his images they can still bring us joy today.

The exhibition will also be decorated with a Christmas tree with porcelain figurines from Selb. Children from Germany will be involved in decorating it on November 25. The tree will also be a nice reminder of the friendship and cooperation with our German partners.

You can also look forward to an exhibition of winter and Christmas drawings by Jiří Winter-Neprakta, whose humor and unique charm will delight both young and old. A special guest at the opening will be his wife, Mrs. Daniela Winterová, whom we will be very happy to welcome among us.

The fire station will also be ringed by a children's choir led by Mrs. Alexandra Benešová. With their singing, the children will bring joy, tenderness and festive mood to the festive evening. After all, it is their enthusiasm and anticipation for Christmas that can make us adults smile and remind us of our own childhood. Come and encourage our little singers, enjoy their performance and reward them with warm applause. A big thank you goes to the children and to Mrs. Alexandra Benešová, Aunt Saša, as the children beautifully address her.

Come with your family, friends or just visit us for a while. Enjoy, reminisce and take home a piece of the Christmas spirit. There is a place for everyone under the Star of Bethlehem.

We look forward to seeing you!
