Sternberg Palace
The Sternberg gallery was founded here in the 1790s, the palace now houses the National Gallery's European Old Masters, which includes some outstanding paintings.

This must be the only museum in the world designed in the form of a wheat field. It was built in 1911-12 by the mystic sculptor, Frantisek Bílek as his studio and home, and still contains much of his work.

Museum of Decorative Arts
This neo-Renaissance museum is considered a work of art in its own right. With richly decorated halls and stained glass windows it is well worth a visit. Its treasures include furniture, tapestries, clocks ceramics, glass and even clothing from previous centuries.
