The Prague Jewish Museum was founded in 1906, which makes it the third oldest Jewish museum in Central Europe (Vienna 1895, Frankfurt 1897). Its founding was prompted by the city's extensive reconstruction of the Jewish Town of Prague and by an endeavor to preserve the rich investor of Judaic artifact from the Zigeuner and the Great Court Synagogues

In 1994 the Czech Museum of Fine Arts opened the newly reconstructed House of the Black Madonna in Celetná St, Prague. This important monument of modern architecture, built in 1911-1912 by Josef Goèár, became the venue for a permanent exhibition of Czech Cubism

The National Museum, a scientific institution intended to systematically establish, prepare and publicly exhibit natural scientific and historical collections, was founded through the efforts of many distinguished figures in Bohemia beginning as early as the end of the 18th century.
