A strong part of the museum is dedicated to czech garnet, stone cutting and jewellery-making, which belong to Turnov just as naturally as sandstone rocks belong to Bohemian Paradise. Visitors can see how stone becomes jewellery, why Turnov is known as the town of gemstones and how deeply this craft is written into the identity of the region.
Another major attraction is the exhibition devoted to climbing. It shows that the rocks of Bohemian Paradise are not only scenery for trips and photographs, but also a place where a strong climbing tradition was born. The museum adds another layer to trips into the rocks by showing what lies behind the landscape.
The Museum of Bohemian Paradise also includes Dlask’s Farmstead in Dolánky near Turnov, one of the most distinctive examples of folk architecture in the region. The 18th-century timbered farmstead presents rural life in the Jizera region, traditional farming, crafts and the everyday life of people who shaped the landscape of Bohemian Paradise in a different way than the nobility in castles and chateaux. Thanks to its location by the Jizera River, a visit to the farmstead combines well with a walk through Dolánky, a cycling trip along Greenway Jizera or a trip from Turnov towards Malá Skála.
