Prague - Dvorák Museum Muzeum A. Dvoráka

The Dvorák Museum (Muzeum A. Dvoráka) is dedicated to the great Czech composer Antonín Dvorák. Dvorák lived in this early 18th Century rococo building during the last part of his life. On display are some of his personal effects, his piano, graduation cap and gown from Cambridge, photographs, and more. During the summer months performances of chamber music are held on the upper floor.

The building, which houses the Dvorak Museum was built by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. At the time of construction this area was little developed and considered a far distance from central Prague. The building has served as a cattle market and a restaurant during its history but restoration work was done and the Dvorak Museum opened here in 1932.
