On November 16, 2009 the exhibition IncaGold – 1000 year curse Exhibition was opened at the Spilberk Castle in Brno. Up to 90 original golden exhibits, very important to the history of arts and initially coming from the Museo de Oro in Lima/ Peru, are the highlights of the exhibition. Now in Europe, a unique compilation of the Incas’ wealth shows masks, mugs, bowls and jewellery made of solid gold dated from 400 BC to 1,500 AD. The golden exhibits are aglow with the magic darkness. Coca bags and enormous beer mugs bear witness to hallucinogenic ceremonies. Great burial objects give an idea of the rulers’ importance. The exhibition in Brno takes place in the prestigious and representative premises at the West Wing of Castle Špilberk and is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm.
