The Neo-Re­naissan­ce bu­il­ding on the bank of the Vl­ta­va is as­so­ci­a­ted with mu­sic and art sin­ce its ope­ning in 1885. To­day it is a seat of the Czech Philhar­mo­nic, as well as the Ga­e­rie Ru­dol­fi­num and a sty­lish café.


The Rudolfinum has been the home of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra since 1946 and is one of the main venues of the Prague Spring International Music Festival held each year in May and June. The building was designed by architect Josef Zítek and his student Josef Schulz, and was opened 8 February 1885. It is named in honour of Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria, who presided over the opening.

The Rudolfinum's Dvorák Hall is one of the oldest concert halls in Europe and is noted for its excellent acoustics. On 4 January 1896 Antonín Dvorák himself conducted the Czech Philharmonic in the hall in its first ever concert.

The building also contains the Galerie Rudolfinum, an art gallery that focuses mainly on contemporary art.
