Birth house of Antonín Dvořák

The birth house of Antonín Dvořák is a two-story residential building in Nelahozeves that now operates as a museum. The rooms are furnished with personal belongings, photographs, documents, and period furniture from the 19th century that document his life there.

Dvořák was born here in 1841 and spent his childhood in this house before later settling in Prague for formal musical education. The building is among the monuments that preserve the lives of Czech artists from the 19th century.

The house shows how Bohemian folk music and local traditions shaped Dvořák's artistic work. Visitors can see rooms that still reflect the connection between his family and the region's music culture.

The house sits about 30 kilometers north of Prague and is accessible by various transport options. Guided tours in several languages are available, and the building has access arrangements for people with reduced mobility.

The room where Dvořák first played violin remains in its original state with 19th century furnishings. This is one of the few places where you can directly imagine the moment of his early artistic calling.
