The house 'U Halánku' is located at the Bethlehem Square. The square is called after the Bethlehem Chapel (visit link) , which is a memorable place of Czech history.
Historical house U Halánku no. 269 turns with its front into the square. It has indisputable architectonic and urbanistic quality and it went down in the history indelibly in the period when it had been owned by the Náprstek family. Whether it was owned by Anna Náprstková, notable for her beneficence or great Czech patriot Vojtech Náprstek (1826-1894). During his life the house U Halánku became a centre of Czech intelligentsia. He established the Czech industrial museum in the house, which was however more and more filled with ethnographic subjects. Thus the foundation stone for a new museum building was laid in the area behind the house U Halánku on the day of Náprstek’s fiftieth birthday, on 17th April 1876. Construction of the three-storied museum building, which has born his name nowadays, was realized during 1885-1890.
