Náprstek Museum

Staré Město


Part of the National Museum, the small Náprstek Museum houses an ethnographical collection of Asian, African and American cultures, founded by Vojta Náprstek, a 19th-century industrialist with a passion for both anthropology and modern technology – his technology exhibits are now part of the National Technical Museum in Holešovice.
