The museum was established in 1888 but is housed in a present day building from 1912. The building was designed by Karel Pařik and represents the oldest contemporary western institution in the country. It has four pavilions hovering over a beautiful Botanical Garden. The open areas in the front, back and throughout have a few valuable medieval tombstones – stecak. Archaeology, Ethnology and the Natural Sciences are the three departments operating within the museum. The biggest attraction is a so-called “blue room” in which a 14th century Jewish manuscript Haggadah is kept.
