The House of Lobkowicz

Country / Region

United States

At the Antonín Dvořák Birth House, visitors explore an interactive exhibition connecting the composer’s humble childhood in 19th-century Nelahozeves with his musical legacy as a world-renowned composer and musician. The RAA-designed museum immerses guests in Dvořák’s early world — helping in his father’s tavern or playing violin in the local church — while showcasing how these experiences shaped his compositions. Authentic artifacts, interactive displays, RFID-triggered audiovisual media, live music, and original settings bring his story to life. Part of the Lobkowicz Collections and Museums, the museum also supports musical training for young professionals, offering a rich space to experience music across history, culture, and practice.
