National Pedagogical Museum and Library of J. A. Comenius, Praha

The National Pedagogical Museum and Library of J. A. Comenius was created in 2011 through the merger of two pre-existing institutions: the Pedagogical Museum and the Pedagogical Library of J. A. Comenius.

The Pedagogical Museum was established in 1892 in Prague, initially as an expression of Czech teachers' efforts to preserve and document the traditions of the Czech school system and pedagogy. It is noted as one of the oldest museums in the Czech Republic.

Since 1991, the Pedagogical Museum has been under the administration of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.

In 1996, the museum relocated to historical buildings dating back to the 14th century, known as The Golden Sun and The Golden Ship houses.

The Pedagogical Library of J. A. Comenius in Prague originated in 1919 as part of the Czechoslovak Comenius Pedagogical Institute, linked to the modern history of the independent Czechoslovak state.

The museum's current location, since 1996, is within historical buildings constructed in the 14th century, referred to as The Golden Sun and The Golden Ship houses.

The museum's collections include specialized library items on Czech education in a European context, an archive of pedagogical writings (including the Slavín), a photo-archive, and teaching aids like school pictures, graphic prints, and maps.

An integral part of the museum's collections is the Přemysl Pitter and Olga Fierz Archive.

The museum functions as a research and resource center dedicated to the history of Czech education, pedagogy, teachers, and intellectualism, with a particular focus on the life, work, and legacy of John Amos Comenius.
