As a tradition, the supporting programme in the field of game-keeping will be extensive. This will be taking place in Hall Z, where most of the ground floor and the entire first gallery will be dedicated to game-keeping and hunting. The programme consists of a large number of sub-exhibitions concerning, for example, the Lány game preserve, National park Šumava and the nestor of not only Czech game-keeping, Josef Hromas – who is also the author of five dozens of books and textbooks. Another chapter is also represented by preserved animals and trophies. Interesting trophies from the Czech Republic will be on display and, in cooperation with Safari Club International, an exhibition of preserved animals titled Animals in the former Soviet Union will be organised.
