Hrdličkovo muzeum člověka

Hrdličkovo muzeum člověka is a natural history museum in Prague that focuses on human anatomy and development. The collection displays skeletons, preserved specimens, and medical preparations that document the biological diversity and history of the human body.

The museum was founded in 1937, growing from the work of anthropologist Ales Hrdlička who dedicated himself to studying human biological development. The collection expanded over decades through scientific contributions from university researchers.

The museum functions as an educational center where academic experts conduct specialized lectures and research on human biological development and anthropological studies.

The museum is located on Viničná Street in the New Town district and requires advance booking for visits. Opening hours are limited to weekdays, so it is best to check the schedule before planning your trip.

The collection includes original pieces from international anthropological research work gathered throughout the 20th century. These objects offer direct insight into the methods and knowledge of early modern anthropology.
