The Museum of Decorative Arts

For more than 120 years, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague has been collecting and preserving the history of Czech arts and crafts, applied art, and design. The individual parts of the exposition Votive Hall, The Story of Fibre, Born in Fire, Print and Image, Treasury, and Time Machines allow the richness and diversity of the collections to shine. The museum houses a unique collection of glass, one of the largest and most significant in the world. Don't miss the interesting collection of astrological instruments, from the time of Rudolf II, as well as the collection of furniture. One of the magnets of the exposition is undoubtedly the collection of jewellery, with magnificent pieces studded with Czech garnets.
