Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague
About This Museum
Tucked away in Prague's historic Josefov district, the Museum of Decorative Arts is an absolute treasure chest that feels like a world unto itself. Stepping inside its grand late-19th century building is like entering a sanctuary for exquisite craftsmanship. You'll find yourself lost in rooms glittering with Bohemian glass, marveling at the intricate faces of historical clocks, and admiring textiles with patterns that tell their own stories. It’s a wonderfully immersive escape from the city's bustle, celebrating the beauty in everyday objects.
Collection Highlights
The collection truly shines with its breathtaking Bohemian glass and crystal, which catches the light in mesmerizing ways. Don't miss the cabinet of delicate pocket watches and ornate grandfather clocks, or the stunning array of Art Nouveau jewelry that feels both timeless and fantastical.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at 17. listopadu 2 in Josefov—it's surprisingly easy to miss the entrance, so keep an eye out for the impressive facade. I'd recommend checking their website for current opening times as they can vary by season.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a purpose-built palace from 1897, the building itself is a Neo-Renaissance masterpiece, with a stunning central atrium that floods the interior with beautiful, soft light.
