Published by: City of Nový Jičín and the Visitor Centre in Nový Jičín – City of Hats ENG General Laudon Exhibition The exhibition is made up of seven individually themed rooms which will take you in a logical order through all of the stages of the general’s life in a comprehensible and fun manner. The original design of the exhibition will ensure you have an authentic experience during the tour. Most of the rooms are supplemented with touch-screen panels in four languages (Czech, German, Polish and English). 1 Childhood and youth As the name implies, the first room will familiarise you with Laudon’s childhood. Here, you can investigate and imagine how the idea of pursuing a military career was formulated in his young mind. 2 Seven Years’ War This room will give you an insight into the general via his successes in his struggle against the Prussians. It offers a three-metre diorama of the Battle of Domašov with five hundred tin soldiers, where the creator captured not only the clothing and posture of the infantry and cavalry including their camp, but also the landscape around the Moravian village in which the battle took place in 1758. Historical weapons are also on display here and you can watch an animated film called “The Life of Laudon”. 3 Children’s playroom The children’s playroom looks like a children’s armoury, where children can try period clothing, weapons and equipment or make themselves a paper cap and play at soldiers. Interactive tablets are also available here on which they can take entertaining quizzes or play battle games. 4 7 Turkish campaign Lecture hall In this room, you have the unique opportunity to fire an interactive cannon at Kalemegdan Fortress and city walls. The military atmosphere is supplemented with audio-visual technology, illustrating authentic battle sounds. Touch-screen panels can be used to learn interesting information about the battle with the Ottoman Empire. This is a common room designed for holding social events, workshops, theatre performances and accompanying programmes. The room has a sound system and projector with projection screen where you can watch a reconstruction of the Siege of Belgrade. There is a wonderful view of Masaryk Square from the room. 5 Exhibition room This room operates as a gallery of pictures relating to the topic of General Laudon. The room includes a reproduction of a veduta by Ignác Čapek which shows how Nový Jičín looked in 1744. 6 Death room General Laudon died in this house on 14 July 1790 although he has become immortalised in historical memory. A dummy of Laudon on his death bed lies in the stylised death room. The same as the actual room where the general died, this room too faces onto the square and is also complemented by subdued lighting which gives it the right atmosphere. 8 General Laudon nature trail + trekking pole rental This nature trail called “In the footsteps of General Laudon” is 16.7 kilometres long and there are nine stops on the way. The first stop is Laudon’s house. The trail continues past Chateau Žerotín to the city centre. There are three stops here, the City Hall, the “U Zeleného stromu” house and the Old Post Office. The trail then passes via the Lower Gate and continues on to the Banner Spring in Šenov, then to St. Martin’s Church also in Šenov and ends at Chateau Kunín. The Visitor Centre, which is the starting point of the nature trail, also rents trekking poles to anyone who is interested for a fee. 9 Laudoncaching Four codes can be found at various places throughout the exhibition. The player records these codes on a game card after having found them. After finding all of the codes, the player wins a small reward. A player may play this game a maximum of three times. After having undertaken all three rounds and finding all of the caches, the player wins a prize fit for a general in the form of a tin soldier.
