 <details class="accordion"> <summary>What you will discover in the museum</summary> <b>Jesuits in the Czech lands</b><br> The first room is dedicated to the statue of Our Lady of St. There is a map of the Jesuits' activity in different periods. On the screen you will find a presentation about the Jesuit Order in Bohemia, created by Mrs. Věra Smolová from the State District Archive Příbram, who participated in the design of the museum.<br> <b>Important events</b><br> The next room presents on the screens a set of unique building plans from the 17th century and photographs depicting various events on Svatá Hora. Set in the centre of the room is a Baroque door that was found during reconstruction and subsequently restored. Through it you can symbolically walk into the Baroque era. Behind the door begins a timeline of history in Bohemia since the beginning of Christianity, along with the events on Svatá Hora.<br> <b>Sheets of Our Lady of Svatohorská</b><br> If you pass through the next passage, you will find yourself in the main part of the museum, which was originally planned by the Jesuits as a crypt, but never used as such. The dresses of Our Lady of St. Mary of St. Mary's also accompany you through the museum, relating both to the periods and the dates of the exhibits below. These range from the earliest surviving ones, to the modern camouflage ones resulting from a children's competition in 2012.<br> <b>Archaeological Finds</b><br> At the end of the room are exposed drainage channels and the discovery of a child's grave, which is older in date than the Baroque complex and belonged to the cemetery around the original chapel. The above situations have been archaeologically uncovered and left in their original state of discovery.<br> <b>The Baroque oven</b><br> The exhibition continues down a staircase to one of the wells, where you will find information regarding the water supply of St. The museum tour ends at the foot of the discovered Baroque furnace, where you can see its reconstructed state. Near the furnace, the stoves on which hosties and wafers were baked are on display. </p> </details>
