Art and Heritage in Central Europe<\/h1>

The story of a dynasty that transformed the Czech principality into a kingdom and profoundly shaped the form of Central Europe comes to life in the Prague National Museum\u2019s largest exhibition of the year. It brings together more than 900 exceptional exhibits from nearly seventy institutions from the Czech Republic and abroad, presenting the most extensive project dedicated to the P\u0159emyslid dynasty in both a Czech and European context.<\/p>\n

Visitors will see rare treasures displayed only on exceptional occasions.\u00a0Among the most significant exhibits is the Romanesque\u00a0sarcophagus of St. Longinus, which is being displayed outside Vy\u0161ehrad for the first time and likely once held the body of a monarch, the\u00a0Royal Crown of \u015aroda \u015al\u0105ska\u00a0(on display only until July 27, 2026),\u00a0textiles from the tomb of Saint Ludmila,\u00a0the funerary jewels of P\u0159emysl II Otakar,\u00a0his sword, and the\u00a0personal ring of P\u0159emysl I Otakar.<\/p>\n

The exhibition located on the ground floor of the Historical Building of the National Museum tells history as a compelling story of power, ambition, family conflicts, and a changing world. It follows the lives of princes and kings from legendary beginnings to the dynasty\u2019s decline, highlighting their influence on the Czech lands as well as on Europe of the time \u2013 it will guide you through four halls from the beginnings of the dynasty through the princely and royal eras to its legacy in the time of the Luxembourgs. It traces not only the development of the royal family, but also the transformation of Bohemia and Moravia from the late 8th to the early 14th century in a broader European context.<\/p>\n

In addition to objects associated with the ruling dynasty, the exhibition also offers a glimpse into everyday life in the early and high Middle Ages. It showcases religion, the emergence of fortified settlements and towns, trade, craftsmanship, art, and scholarship. Visitors will see\u00a0jewelry, liturgical objects, weapons, coins and coin hoards, books, and other exhibits\u00a0that document the transformation of society and its growing connections with neighboring lands.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is available until 15 October 2026.<\/p>\n
