Ulrika von Levetzow. Angel in Sparkling Par.

Baroness Ulrika gained worldwide fame as the last love and muse of Johann Wolfgang Goethe. The story of the unfulfilled and unreciprocated love of the aging poet is among the greatest love stories in European history. Ulrika von Levetzow was a fascinating personality, representing literally the best of the entire 19th century. Together with her stepfather Franz Joseph von Klebelsberg, she was among the first supporters and members of the Patriotic Society, later the National Museum. She was known for her social sensitivity and was a generous patron of various social projects.

The exhibition replaces the previous installation, which has been enriched especially with modern and multimedia exhibition elements and language mutations. The exhibited artifacts come from the extensive estate of Ulrika von Levetzow, which has been part of the collections of the Most Museum since 1900.

The garnet jewelry set, which is one of the rarest jewelry works in the Czech Republic, is placed in the conceptual center of the exhibition. According to proven gemological expertise, it is the largest known collection of Czech garnets in the world, which includes the largest cut Czech garnet in the Czech Republic. The piece is among the 10 most valuable jewelry works in our country.

The new exhibition was created with significant support from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Ústí nad Labem Region.

The main professional partner of the exhibition is the National Museum Prague.
