Memorial of Jan Palach in Všetaty, National monument in Všetaty, Czech Republic
The Memorial of Jan Palach occupies a transformed village house, featuring interactive screens and multimedia exhibitions about the Czech student's life and sacrifice.
The memorial opened in 2019 inside the former Palach family residence, from where the 21-year-old student departed on January 16, 1969, before his protest in Prague.
The exhibition contains personal artifacts, including Palach's briefcase, the national flag that covered his body, and a death mask created by sculptor Olbram Zoubek.
Located at Smetanova 337, the memorial welcomes visitors from Friday through Sunday between 10:00 and 16:00, offering free admission and barrier-free access.
Four interactive display stations present contemporary audio and visual recordings, complemented by a documentary film directed specifically for the memorial by Olga Sommerová.
