Karel Zeman Museum

Mal谩 Strana


Bohemia-born director Karel Zeman (1910鈥89) was a pioneer of movie special effects, though his work is little known. This fascinating museum, established by his daughter, reveals the many tricks and techniques he perfected, and even allows visitors a bit of hands-on interaction 鈥 you can film yourself on your smartphone against painted backgrounds and 3D models.

Zeman's inventive use of animation and matt paintings combined with live action 鈥 seen in films such as Cesta do prav臎ku (Journey to the Beginning of Time; 1955) and Baron Pr谩拧il (The Fabulous Baron Munchausen; 1961) 鈥 influenced more famous directors, including George Lucas, Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam (who remade The Adventures of Baron Munchausen in 1988).
