Hi, guys,
In Olomouc, in the Šantovka shopping centre, the largest Czech mechanical nativity scene has been exhibited for the fourth year.
On 14 square meters you can see more than 100 human figures, 150 animals along with 19 buildings. Some of these figures are movable, another special feature is the rear part of the crib representing a part of Olomouc, which should move out at intervals to complete the whole scenery. Unfortunately, despite waiting, we were not lucky and so I think this part does not work.
Don't think that the characters are just made up or from history, next to the Archbishop of Olomouc Rudolf Jan we can see Tarja Turunen or Karel Gott.
The function of the crib is provided by a mechanism similar to the astronomical clock, the interesting thing is the production itself, it is a work of modern technology. The largest part is printed on a 3d printer and then sanded and painted both by hand and airbrush.
It's a pity that I couldn't get to more detailed photos through the barrier, but as soon as possible I will shoot interesting pieces up close and share them with you
