One of the Czech Republic’s most-celebrated composers, Dvořák (1841 – 1904) is a great figure of national pride and is renowned for the way through which he incorporated Czech and Slovakian traditional folk aspects into his music. His influence in Czech is music is very much notable and thus, it serves as no surprise as to why the Antonín Dvořák Museum was establised.

Housed in a baroque building designed by the famous Bohemian architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer early in the 18th century, Dvořák’s museum is part of the larger Museum of Music which in itself is part of the complex of the National Museum. Showcasing Dvořák’s important place in Czech culture and history, you’ll be able to find all types of photographs, newspaper clippings, programmes and other memorabilia related to him and his musical work. For the researcher, there are even manuscripts and correspondences, making the museum one of the best places to go to find out in-depth knowledge about Dvořák and his works in the musical field.

The museum even organises a yearly event on the eve of his death (May 1), where they visit his grave. Alongside their partnership with other exhibitions for Antonín Dvořák, including the one in his country estate and birthplace, they also take care of his son-in-law, , Josef Suk’s, who so happens to be another famous Czech composer, village house. They even have a sister exhibit in Spillville, Iowa in the United States.
