We have been collecting for you for 100 years already

The roots of collections of the current National Museum of Agriculture date back to the Jubilee Exhibition of 1891 and the Ethnographic Exhibition of 1895. Objects presented at these exhibitions formed the core of a Department of Agriculture, which was part of the Ethnographic Museum until 1918.

A milestone in the history of the museum came in 1918:

28 September 1918 / Foundation of a Czech Agricultural Museum Association
18 December 1918 / The Association changed its name to Czechoslovak Agricultural Museum, Institute for the Study and Improvement of the Countryside

The history of the museum is full of twists and turns, forced transformations and relocations. That is why we are happy to welcome you, after more than 100 years of existence of the National Museum of Agriculture, in a Prague building, which offers several new exhibitions as well as a viewing roof terrace. 

All this is taking place thanks in part to our current founder, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic.
