Apple Museum, Technology museum in Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic.
The Apple Museum occupied three buildings in Prague's Old Town and held about 472 exhibits, described by its operators as the largest private collection of its kind. Displays began with the Apple I circuit board from 1976 and ran through the iMac line, alongside a wall of portraits from the 1997 "Think Different" campaign. A portrait of Steve Jobs was assembled from components of six iMac G3 computers.
The Apple Museum opened in December 2015 in Old Town, Prague, based on the private collection of an owner described as an Apple enthusiast. It displayed about 472 exhibits, which it called the largest private collection of its kind. In July 2020 a robbery was reported; police later found most of the items in a former nuclear shelter outside Prague. The museum closed permanently in September 2020.
A dedicated section honored Steve Jobs with his iconic black turtleneck and a portrait assembled from iMac components, showing how the founder's vision shaped the brand. This area gave visitors insight into the person behind the products they knew.
Situated in central Prague, the museum provided multimedia guides available in nine languages to help visitors navigate the exhibitions. An on-site vegan café offered a place to rest and refresh while exploring the collection.
The collection included original components from Apple's first products, such as 1976 circuit boards and early Macintosh computers that were essential to understanding tech history. These rare pieces demonstrated how modest the beginnings of the computer industry actually were.
