Exhibition marks priest, thinker Comenius' death anniversary

A large exhibition marking the death anniversary of Czech 17th-century theologue and scholar Jan Amos Komensky (Comenius) was opened in Prague Castle's Riding School on Monday as one of the first such events after a long closure of museums and galleries due to the coronavirus pandemic. Installed since December 20 but opened by Culture Minister Lubomir Zaoralek only today, within the country's partial relaxation of coronavirus restrictions, the exhibition Comenius 1592-1670 - Period Between Sanity And Insanity offers some 500 exhibits loaned by 80 institutions from several states.
