Antonín Dvořák Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Prague's New Town, the Antonín Dvořák Museum feels more like a pilgrimage than a typical museum. You step into an elegant 18th-century villa, a world away from the city's bustle, where the spirit of the great composer feels immediately present. The air is thick with a hushed, almost sacred reverence, punctuated only by the occasional strains of a piano étude drifting from an impromptu recital. It’s an intimate space that invites you not just to look, but to listen and feel.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is profoundly personal: you can stand before Dvořák's own viola and piano, instruments that literally resonated with his genius. His handwritten scores and personal letters, filled with his distinctive script, are scattered throughout, offering a direct window into his creative mind and daily life.
Visitor Information
It's located at Ke Karlovu 20 in Prague 2, and checking their website for the current recital schedule is highly recommended—hearing music in this space is an essential part of the experience.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a charming Baroque summer palace known as Villa Amerika, a beautiful light-colored stucco building with a distinctive mansard roof and a serene garden.
