Czech state museum free entry initiative

Overview

The Czech Ministry of Culture has implemented a program providing free admission to permanent exhibitions at major state-run museums and galleries on the first Sunday of every month. This initiative, which began in September 2026 and is expected to continue through 2027, follows a successful pilot program earlier in the year.

Minister of Culture Oto Klempíř stated the program aims to make culture accessible to a wider audience, expanding on previous government promises to provide free access for specific groups like seniors and children to a universal offering for everyone. Participating institutions include the National Gallery Prague, the National Museum, the Moravian Gallery in Brno, and the Olomouc Museum of Art, among others.

As the program rolls out, officials have encouraged visitors to consult tourism information to manage schedules and avoid crowds at popular landmarks.
