The National Museum's Memorial to František Palacký and František Ladislav Rieger is housed within the Rococo Mac Neven Palace, presenting a detailed look at a five-generation household. Six rooms on the first floor are dedicated to showcasing the lives of these prominent figures, featuring uniquely preserved original furnishings. Visitors can expect to see a reception and music salon, a dining room, bedrooms, and the personal studies of the historian František Palacký and his son-in-law, the lawyer, politician, and encyclopaedist František Ladislav Rieger.
