National Museum of Agriculture in Prague<\/b>
\nKosteln\u00ed 44, 170 00 Praha 7
\nwww.nzm.cz<\/a>
\nThe National Museum of Agriculture was founded in 1918, however, its oldest department has been working since 1842, so it might be the oldest museum of forestry and hunting ever. Forestry, game-keeping or hunting, fishing, farming, food processing industry, gastronomy and other branches are presented through dynamic expositions as ones that are essential for existence of both an individual and the civilization. A visitor is given opportunity to realise the importance of agriculture as one of the most significant know-how the humankind has developed, and which existentially interlinks our future.

\nThe Moravian Museum is one of the largest and oldest memory institutions in the Central-European space. Established in 1817, it is dedicated to the history of a unique territory, Moravia, whose dwellers created the so-called Venus of Doln\u00ed V\u011bstonice, the first known clay sculpture and the earliest portrait of a woman in the world as early as 25,000 years ago. The figure is now listed as the National Cultural Monument. Among other carefully conserved unique objects is, e.g. the plough that used Maria Theresa\u2019s son, future Emperor Joseph II in 1769, or extensive numismatic, theatre and literature collections.

National Museum<\/b>

\nwww.nm.cz<\/a>
\nThe National Museum is the largest and third oldest museum in the Czech Republic, having been founded in 1818. The public associates the institution primarily with the monumental Neo-Renaissance Historical Building, the most prominent landmark of Wenceslas Square in Prague. During an extensive reconstruction, it was connected with the equally interesting New Building of the National Museum through a multimedia corridor, giving rise to the unique Museum Complex. From the summer of 2021, visitors have a chance to walk through new modern expositions dedicated to history and nature. But the National Museum is not just this building. As part of its activities, the Museum collects, researches and presents artifacts from scientific, historical and artistic disciplines, which it then exhibits in the 17 buildings it administers or protects in several stand-alone depositories. Its library is the second largest public library in the Czech Republic and its collections contain more than thirteen million objects.
