Czech cultural institution developments

Overview

Cultural institutions in the Czech Republic are introducing new exhibits and undergoing structural changes. In Prague, the Museum of Senses has opened in the baroque Harrach Palace, offering approximately fifty interactive sensory exhibits. In Plzeň, a reconstructed site at Klatovská 19 is becoming an experiential museum focused on 20th-century history, featuring the expansion of the Patton Museum and the preservation of an Adolf Loos-designed apartment.

Further developments include the launch of the ‘City and World’ permanent exhibition at the Municipal Museum in Moravská Třebová, which showcases artifacts from donor Ludwig V. Holzmaister. Meanwhile, Zlín Castle is set to close for eighteen months for reconstruction. To maintain cultural programming during this period, the Živý Zlín center will relocate cinema, concerts, and exhibitions to the Kolektivní dům and utilize public spaces like Sad Svobody.
