About the National Museum (Prague)
The National Museum, called Národní muzeum in Czech, is a public museum for the Czech Republic's natural-science and historical collections. Kašpar Maria Šternberg founded it in 1818, and the historian František Palacký was strongly involved in its creation. The museum holds nearly 14 million items covering natural history, history, the arts, music and librarianship, spread across dozens of museum buildings.
The main building stands on Wenceslas Square in downtown Prague. It went up on a site that had held several noblemen's palaces, after the collections outgrew first the Sternberg Palace and then the Nostitz Palace. Josef Schulz, a prominent Czech neo-Renaissance architect, built it between 1885 and 1891. It dominates the busiest intersection in Prague and is often a gathering place for protests, rallies and public events.
A bomb damaged the building in 1945, though the collections had been moved to secured storage sites, and the museum reopened in 1947. A major reconstruction kept it closed between July 7, 2011 and October 28, 2018. Seven million items went into depositories, a transfer described as the largest museum collection move in Czech history. The dome first opened to visitors in February 2019.
