Uncover Centuries of Czech History: The Long-Term Exhibition at Antonín Dvořák Museum

This long-term exhibition guides visitors through the history of the Czech lands from the 8th century to the First World War across seven halls. It features over 2,000 exhibits, including medieval jewelry, everyday artifacts, and an 18th-century archbishop's carriage, offering a comprehensive historical narrative.

The "History" long-term exhibition at the Antonín Dvořák Museum offers an extensive journey through the Czech lands from the 8th century to the First World War. Spanning seven halls and showcasing over 2,000 exhibits, the exhibition meticulously details periods such as the medieval era with its fortified settlements and rich archaeological finds, and the early modern period marked by the Thirty Years’ War and court culture, featuring unique items like an archbishop's carriage. The exhibition further delves into the development of science and knowledge from the 16th to 19th centuries, culminating in the "long 19th century" (1780s-1914). This section highlights the monarchy's governance, the 1848 revolution, liberal reforms, and the rise of national consciousness. Visitors can engage with the content through large-format videos that immerse them in historical events and interactive elements designed for younger visitors, such as touchable medieval swords and helmets. Additionally, a virtual reality experience, "Steps of Progress," allows visitors to interact with historical figures and explore themes of technological advancement.
