Multimedia Exposition

The Multimedia Exposition, or "Story of Budweiser beer", one of the parts of Budweiser Budvar Visitor Centre, was opened to the public in April 2005. The exposition is a vivid depiction of the history of the brewing in České Budějovice.

The tour starts with a large-screen projection which delves into the beer production inside a copper boiling pot. Then visitors go on a virtual trip in the mining elevator cage down to the depth of 300 metres, where there lies a source of unique water for the production of Budweiser Budvar beer. The following Historical Hall takes the visitors back in time to the year 1265, which is precisely when the town of České Budějovice was established and the tradition of brewing beer began. We then stop at a Gothic-Renaissance Log Cabin with the medieval brewing trade.

The Hall of Industrial Age portrays the impact technology has had on brewing beer. In addition, the Hall gives information as to the foundation of the Czech Stock Brewery, the direct predecessor of today’s Budweiser Budvar. The Hall of the Twentieth Century depicts the key moments of the history of Budweiser Budvar. The exposition reaches its end with the presentation of the success of Budweiser Budvar beer in the world and a humorous 3D film about the origin and authenticity of Budweiser Budvar beer.
