Prague: Museums

Antonin Dvorak Museum

Ke Karlovu 20, Praha 2
The museum is housed in "Villa America" since 1932. The building was a summer-house built in the late 18th century by the famous Prague master -builder Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. The Prague municipal authorities have let it out to the club of Dvoøák´s following in order to open up the relics of the celebrated composer to the public. Nowadays, the National Museum in Prague is taking care for this largest collection of Dvoøák´s material in the world, organising informal meetings, chamber concerts, performances and exhibitions.
