Military History Institute in Prague, Military history museum in Žižkov district, Czech Republic
The Military History Institute consists of three major exhibition spaces displaying military equipment, aircraft, uniforms, and historical documents from Czech military history.
Founded in 1919 after the establishment of Czechoslovakia, the institute originated from the Monument of Resistance, later merging with other institutions in 1929.
The institute maintains a collection of over 7,000 military artifacts, documenting the evolution of Czech armed forces through multiple historical periods.
Visitors can explore three distinct museum locations: Army Museum Žižkov, Aviation Museum Kbely, and Military Technical Museum in Lešany.
The museum houses the crypt of Saints Cyril and Methodius Church, where seven paratroopers hid after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.
