For the article Probošt's mechanical Christmas crib


Transport of the crib to spare room on 26th September 2011

Probošt's mechanical Christmas crib[1], also known as Bethlehem of Třebechovice[2] or Probošt's Nativity Scene of Třebechovice[3], is a wooden mechanical nativity scene that was made by Josef Probošt (1849–1926), Josef Kapucián (1841–1908) and Josef Friml (1861–1946).[3]

The crib became a national cultural monument in 1999.[4] It is unique in terms of art and ethnography, but also from technical point of view.[5] It is also exceptional thanks to its great aestheticity which was not unlike most other movable cribs suppressed because of mobility.[5]

It is held in the Museum of Christmas cribs in Třebechovice pod Orebem. The museum is closed from 2nd May 2011 to June 2013 because of building of a new museum building; cribs were moved to spare room.[1]
