It explores the connection between his popular novels for young people and the authentic archaeological finds that inspired them, presenting Štorch as an educator, archaeologist, and scout.

This year, the National Museum commemorates 100 years since it took over the archaeological collection of Eduard Štorch. An educator by profession and a popular author of books for children and young people, he was also an avid amateur archaeologist. The exhibition Prehistoric Adventures of Eduard Štorch will introduce you to the unusual connection between Štorch's novels and the authentic archaeological finds that inspired him when writing his works. At the same time, the exhibition presents Eduard Štorch as a progressive personality – a progressive educator, founder of skiing courses, health holidays by the sea and the Children's Farm, an avid amateur archaeologist and collector, and an enthusiastic scout. The exhibition, which interweaves biographical and narrative lines, is divided into five parts: the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Roman Age and the Early Middle Ages. Accompanied by Štorch's books, you can explore the period from the Early Paleolithic, represented by the legendary Mammoth Hunters, to the Early Middle Ages with the Hero Nik.

The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. Specific ticketing details are not provided on this page, but it is associated with the National Museum Complex. Visitors are directed to general museum admission information, and contact forms are available for inquiries. Newsletter subscriptions are also offered for updates on Prague events.
