Opened in 1936 (in what was the former Old Town waterworks) and jutting into the Vltava next to Charles Bridge, this museum pays tribute to the deepest traditions of Czech classical music and its most patriotic composer, Bedrich Smetana. The exhibits show scores, diaries, manuscripts, and gifts presented to the composer while he was the preeminent man of Prague music in the mid-19th century. You can buy tickets for the concerts held here on-site or at Prague Information Service, Rytírská 31, Praha 1 (tel. 12-444).
