Historical Building of the National Museum

The Historical Building of the National Museum (Historická Budova Národního Muzea) is one of Prague’s most iconic landmarks, dominating the upper end of Wenceslas Square. Opened in 1891, this grand Neo-Renaissance structure is both a symbol of Czech national pride and a repository of the country’s rich history and cultural heritage. After a comprehensive renovation completed in 2019, the building now combines its historical grandeur with modern exhibition spaces, showcasing a wide range of artifacts from natural history, art, and cultural collections.
