Faculty of Restoration

The town of ten thousand inhabitants has four high schools, one higher school and even a college!

The castle hill, like the whole Litomyšl, is a historical centre of culture and education. This is also the reason why it became the seat of the University of Pardubice. Today's Faculty of Restoration has undergone a very interesting development during its post-revolutionary history, when it was originally a private entity and became part of a public university. At the beginning was a group of experts who, in the 1990s, rescued (often in a very complicated way) the murals by Josef Váchal in the house belonging to the printer and bibliophile Josef Portman. They gave birth to today's Váchal memorial - Portmone. It was then that the idea of establishing an interdisciplinary school of restoration was conceived and there was no doubt about the location of its seat in Litomyšl, given the local tradition. In 1993, the School of Restoration and Conservation Techniques was established, and in 1996 a higher vocational school of the same name was founded. In 2000, the Ministry granted accreditation for university studies and the Institute of Restoration and Conservation Techniques became a private university. Finally, in 2005 the Faculty of Restoration was established, when the University of Pardubice took over the baton of professional training of restorers in Litomyšl.
Currently, the faculty offers education in four bachelor's and two master's degree courses focused on sculpture, mural painting, works of art on paper and related materials, and book restoration.

Interestingly, some of the first graduates of the restoration school in Litomyšl decorated the street that now bears the name of Josef Váchal with sgraffiti. The reproductions of woodcuts that Váchal used to accompany his Bloody Novel, together with humorous excerpts from the texts, are simply not to be missed!
