The Goethe-Institut Prague has occupied its Art Nouveau building on Masarykovo nábřeží since 1991 - the structure dates from 1903-1905, designed by Jiří Stibral with facade sculptures by Ladislav Šaloun, and previously served as the East German embassy. The institute runs German courses and official language exams alongside a busy cultural programme: exhibitions, film screenings, literary readings and concerts, all interpreted or subtitled so no knowledge of German is required. A German library is on the first floor; the ground floor houses Café Goethe.
