Summary for: Expats.cz Museum and Gallery GuideWith buildings dating back to the ninth century, Prague's history is well seen even at street level. These facades, courtyards, and public spaces are proof enough of centuries of change, but to really get to know the capital of Czechia, step inside one of its museums and galleries.
Many of these cultural institutions are housed in historic buildings and explore Czech history, art, and science through permanent collections and rotating exhibitions. They appeal to first-time visitors seeking an introduction to a new place and locals who want a deeper understanding of where they live.
It's important to note that most museums are closed on Mondays. Opening hours vary, and admission information can be found on each museum or gallery's website. Check out our seasonal guide for current exhibitions and open house days (when admission is free).
