Museum Website"Our museum houses artifacts and produces programs which tell three categories of stories:
a. The history and rich culture of the Czech lands from 500 c.e. to present;
b. The story of Czech immigrants in Texas from 1850 to the early 1900s. The memories of the living children and grandchildren of those Czechs and the cultural legacies they preserve today.
c. The story of Czech-Americans connecting with their identities and families during the Cold War and in today’s Czech Republic. We also strive to recognize the efforts of those who work for a future of continued strong connections between the two countries.
