Category: town exhibition and dragon legend

An exhibition about the Trutnov legend of the dragon, located in the cellar of the local art school (ZUŠ). It presents the dragon as a symbol of the town — the legend of its slaying is performed by a mechanical puppet theatre, accompanied by sound and visual effects. The tour takes about 30 minutes and the space is wheelchair accessible thanks to a stairlift platform. Groups of 12–20 people can book a tour outside regular opening hours.

• Allow roughly 45 minutes; the programme is aimed at preschoolers, lower primary and upper primary.
