Mozarteum, Event venue and cultural monument in New Town, Czech Republic

Mozarteum is a five-storey commercial and residential building at Jungmannova 30, designed by Jan Kotěra in geometric modern style for music publisher Mojmír Urbánek. Its street facade combines grey stone with exposed brickwork and bears two allegorical half-figures of Orpheus and Eurydice by Jan Štursa. A lower courtyard wing extends into the Františkánská zahrada, ending in a single-storey concert hall for 400 listeners.

The Mozarteum stands on the site of two medieval houses from the late 14th century, one of which was rented in 1391 to the Carmelite convent at Panny Marie Sněžné. The last building there, a classicist house with a courtyard belonging to Countess Gabriela Desfoursová, was demolished in 1910. Architect Jan Kotěra designed the new building in geometric modern style for music publisher Mojmír Urbánek; builder František Troníček executed the reinforced concrete structure in 1913, including a 400-seat concert hall.

The name Mozarteum recalls Mozart, though the building is named after music publisher Mojmír Urbánek, who commissioned it. The concert hall in the courtyard wing seats 400 and has hosted public lectures and readings, including by architect Le Corbusier and writer Franz Werfel. Today the ground floor houses a watch shop and a home accessories store, while the first floor holds a lecture hall with a collection of timepieces.

Mozarteum stands at Jungmannova 30 in Prague's New Town, its rear facade facing the Františkánská zahrada. The concert hall, seating 400, is reached through the courtyard wing; the street wing has a lift and a two-arm staircase. The ground floor now houses a watch shop and a home-accessories shop, while the first floor holds a lecture room with a collection of timepieces.

The concert hall in the courtyard wing was rebuilt in the 1970s as a Supraphon recording studio and served until restitution in 1991, when it was reconstructed back into a concert hall. The first-floor Clock Gallery lecture room holds a collection of timepieces and a library assembled by watch dealers and art historians Jan Štěpánek and Patrik Pařízek.
