Memorial of Jan Palach in Všetaty, National monument in Všetaty, Czech Republic
The Memorial of Jan Palach occupies a converted village house that tells the story of a Czech student through interactive screens and multimedia displays. The space includes exhibitions about his life and features a documentary film created specifically for this location.
The memorial was established in 2019 inside the former family residence from which the student departed on January 16, 1969. This act became a turning point in Czech history during that era.
The house displays personal belongings such as Palach's briefcase and the national flag that covered his body after his death. These objects tell his story in a direct and quiet way.
The site is located on Smetanova Street and offers free admission for all visitors. It is open on weekends and can be explored at a relaxed pace without time pressure.
Four interactive stations throughout the space present contemporary audio and visual materials that offer visitors new perspectives on the story. A documentary film made specifically for this memorial adds depth to the experience in unexpected ways.
