National Museum Expeditions

A smaller exhibition displayed in the vitrines of the Eastern Hall of the National Museum's Historical Building presents the expeditions of the National Museum, united above all by a desire for knowledge that transcends borders. The exhibition showcases selected major historical expeditions documenting the institution's long research tradition, as well as contemporary expeditions. Some of the oldest research journeys are recalled by the expeditions of A. Frič to Banat (1853) and Dalmatia (1856), accompanied by acquired zoological specimens. The difficulty of these journeys is illustrated by natural science expeditions to Iran using the museum's Praga V3S vehicle in the 1970s, or pioneering expeditions among the Mapuche in South America. Contemporary National Museum expeditions will take visitors to diverse corners of the world on almost every continent, where they can learn about the latest natural science and archaeological discoveries by researchers. The exhibition runs from 11 August 2022 to 31 May 2026 in the Historical Building of the National Museum on Wenceslas Square. Admission is included in the price of a ticket to the Museum Complex. Photography for non-commercial purposes without flash and tripod is included in the ticket price.
