Městská knihovna v Praze
Městská knihovna v Praze, Public library in Old Town, Czech Republic
The Municipal Library of Prague features multiple floors of books, reading rooms, and modern facilities in a functionalist architectural building at Mariánské Square.
Architect František Roith designed this library building, which opened its doors in 1903 and underwent significant changes during the Nazi occupation period.
The Central Library hosts regular events including lectures, concerts, theater performances, and exhibitions that connect Prague residents with literature and arts.
The library operates Monday afternoons through Saturday, providing free WiFi access, computer stations, and an extensive collection of over two million volumes.
The vestibule contains the Idiom installation, a circular column created by Matej Krén using 8,000 books arranged to create an infinite mirror effect.
