Monuments & Sites, Museums & Art Centres, Music
The Czech Museum of Music, part of the National Museum in Prague, displays a collection of musical  instruments made by renowned Czech and international artisans. The museum holds regularly classical music concerts.

The seat of the Czech Museum of Music is located in the former Baroque church of St. Mary Magdalene at Lesser Side, built in the 17th Century, designed by Francesco Caratti. The church was gradually rebuilt after the dissolution of the Dominican Monastery in 1783. Among other things, it served as a Police barracks and archive. The unusual symbiosis of the early Baroque church architecture with the classicist adjustment of usage and newly finished reconstruction of the Museum offers visitors a detail of an impressive combination of monumentality.
