The idea of establishing a pedagogical museum that would document the development of the educational system in Bohemia occurred to the Czech teachers around the end of the 1880’s. This idea was realized together with preparations for the presentation of Czech schools at the Regional Jubilee Exhibition held in Prague in 1891 and preparations for the 300th anniversary celebration of J. A. Comenius’ birth in 1892.
The patriotic feelings, religious tolerance as well as modern pedagogical methods and forms of teaching (according to the pupil’s age and level of knowledge) were emphasized by giving the museum the name of “J. A. Comenius”.
The Pedagogical Museum of J. A. Comenius is considered to be one of the oldest museums in our country and at the same time one of the oldest museums in the world dealing with schools and educational problems.
The Museum is a member of the Association of Czech and Moravian Museums and Galleries, and of the International Museum Association EMYA sponsored by the European Council; it is also incorporated in the international system of libraries and information services.
Being the only pedagogical museum in the Czech Republic, the Pedagogical Museum of J. A. Comenius is now a part of The Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic. It also co-operates with other similar foreign institutions.
The museum keeps about 150 000 items, an extensive collection of three-dimensional objects, as well as rich photo archives.
