The Památník národního písemnictví (PNP) - Museum of Czech Literature is a state institution dedicated to Czech literature and book culture from the 18th century to the present. Founded in 1953, it spent decades at Strahov Monastery before moving in 2022 to the restored Petschek Villa in Bubeneč. Nearly 1,000 m² of exhibition space houses a permanent display across ten rooms alongside thematic shows, a café, a garden, and a reading room. The museum also runs lectures, conferences, and school programmes.
