Bohumír Jaroněk

[1] Over the following years, he worked as a model maker at numerous arts and crafts workshops in Budapest and Munich.

An avid traveller, he visited Belgium, France, Italy, Scandinavia, Germany and Egypt.

In 1896, he returned home and joined his brother, Alois [cs], at his porcelain studio.

His primary project was the creation of an open-air museum to preserve samples of architectural timber carvings that were at risk in their original environment; an idea inspired by a visit to the Skansen in Stockholm.

The project was finally realized in 1925, when the "Valašské Muzeum v Přírodě" opened with a major festival, featuring folk songs, dances, storytelling and crafts.
