This Baroque palace, located at the eastern end of the Prague Castle complex at the entrance by the Old Castle Steps, is owned by the Lobkowicz Czech noble family and as such is the only privately owned part of Prague Castle. Highlights from the Museum include works by masters such as Canaletto, Brueghel the Elder, Cranach, and Velįzquez; an impressive display of family and royal portraits; fine porcelain, ceramics and rare decorative arts from the 16th to 20th centuries; an extensive collection of rifles from the 16th to 18th centuries; and musical instruments and original scores and manuscripts by Beethoven and Mozart, including Beethoven’s 4th and 5th symphonies and Mozart’s re-orchestration of Handel’s Messiah. The outstanding audio tour provides a personal and engaging introduction to the tumultuous history of the Czech lands through the centuries. There are daily mid-day classical concerts; an excellent gift shop, and pleasant café.
