Why visit this place?

• Founded in 1873, it was the first museum of decorative arts in the Czech lands; the building went up in 1897-1898 to a design by Professor Fridrich Ohmann of Prague.
• Its collection of oriental carpets is the second largest in the country and the museum holds more than 700 thousand objects in total.
• Admission is free, which helps when the class budget is tight.
• Allow roughly an hour and a half; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 99 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
