Waldesovo muzeum, Button museum in Vrsovice, Prague, Czech Republic.
The Waldes Museum displayed a collection of fasteners and clothing ornaments made from precious metals and organic materials spanning over 3000 years.
Jindrich Waldes established the museum in 1916, initially located in a factory hall before relocating to Svatopluk Cech Square in Prague.
The museum gathered prehistoric pins, bronze fibulae, and the Karlstejn treasure, which included court garment decorations from different historical periods.
The museum closed in 2003, and the building now houses Gallery DESET, which maintains exhibitions and includes an antiquarian bookstore since 2020.
The collection contained buttons and clasps from global manufacturers, presented both as individual specimens and complete series on manufacturer cards.
