Lighthouse and museum of Jára Cimrman, Czech Republic
The village of Příchovice sits in a valley in the lower Jizera Mountains. In this village, there is a pub and bed and breakfast, U Čápa (At the Crane), that offers a beautiful view of the plains below the mountains. Aleš Voverka and Vlastimil Pecháček work hard at refining this place.
Aleš contributed to the model of the cylindrical tower at the Venice Biennale. First, he exhibited it in the cinema in Tanvald and then he decided to build Lighthouse and museum of Jára Cimrman, full size.
Behind the U Čápa is a rock formation with a grove of beech trees. We decided to situate our tower on this formation, declaring it a lighthouse in memory of the local hero, Jára Cimrman (a fictional polymath or universal genius created by Zdeněk Svěrák and Jiří Šebánek). Below the tower, the boys built a museum dedicated to the master.
The lighthouse looms over the valley like a raised finger, and the museum is hidden in the rock below it. It has become a natural continuation of the rock.
