The Museum of the Police Force

The Museum is currently located in the Karlova complex, which was founded for the Augustinian monastic order by Emperor Charles IV, in 1350, as one of the landmarks of Prague's New Town. The exposition presents the history, foundation, development, and activities of the security forces in this country, from 1918. The exposition places particular emphasis on the fields of criminology and famous criminal cases. The exposition also looks at traffic and aviation services, foreign and border police, as well as a section devoted to the work of the former national security forces. A children's traffic playground is part of the outdoor exposition in the museum gardens.
