Two-floor house with a high attic roof and a rich late baroque entrance portal is typical for original housebuilding of Nov\u00fd Bor. It was built for Johann Christopher Socher, one of local glass exporters, who had sold Bohemian glass prosperously for 13 years before in Mexico. Disposition of the house basement shows the second building on this place. An original, wooden house was built by Josef Schneider, a master carpenter, before 1759. In the 1820\u00b4s Socher sold the house to Stephan Rautenstrauch and it was owned by this family, members of the most important glass export company in Nov\u00fd Bor, until 1939. In 1952 the town council decided with respect to history of the house to situate the glass museum there. In period 1998 \u2013 1999 the house was completely reconstructed.<\/p>\n
In 2011 the town of Nov\u00fd Bor got a leading partnership in the project \u201e Czech \u2013 Polish Glass Tradition Revival\u201c and established cooperation with Muzeum Karkonoskie in Jelenia G\u00f3ra. Thanks to finance funds from this project, the glass museum was extended with a new two-floor building, which connects the original house and the house number 105 Kalinova Street. Besides a new suitable store for exhibits \u2013 depositary, there is also a new representative hall for short-term exhibitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
