    (Translated by Google) The Lapidarium of the National Museum is the largest publicly accessible historical collection of stone sculpture and architectural sculpture in the Czech Republic. It houses originals and copies of rare columns, tombstones and all kinds of sculptures (over 3,000 items). (Original) Lapidárium Národního muzea je největší státní veřejně přístupná historická sbírka kameno-sochařství a architektonické plastiky v České republice. Jsou zde uloženy originály i kopie vzácných sloupů, náhrobků a všemožných sochařských děl (přes 3000 předmětů).

    (Translated by Google) The exhibition complex of the National Museum in Prague, opened in 1905. Here is the largest collection of interesting and memorable stone sculptures of the 11-20th centuries, in the Czech Republic and one of the largest in Europe (about 2000 exhibits, in eight halls). The originals of Charles Bridge and its tower "live" here, and the "doubles" delight us there ... Just in case, in 1995 Lapidarium entered the top ten the most beautiful museum exhibitions in Europe ... (Original) Комплекс-выставка Национального музея в Праге,открылась в 1905 году. Здесь собрана самая большая коллекция интересных и запоминающихся каменных скульптур 11-20 веков, в Чехии и одна из самых больших в Европе(около 2000 экспонатов,в восьми залах). Оригиналы Карлова моста и его башни "живут" здесь,а "двойники" радуют нас там... На всякий случай,в 1995 году Лапидариум вошёл в десятку самых красивых музейных выставок в Европе...

    Wonderful statues. The surroundings are not as pretty as old town

  • 5/5 Pavel C. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There is a collection of old masterpieces, perhaps from the 11th or 13th centuries, and sculptures that you will never see anywhere else. (Original) Je tu sbírka staré mistrovské práce, třeba z 11 nebo 13 století a sochy, které nikde jinde neuvidíte.

    (Translated by Google) Relatively small but loaded gems. Very interesting when autumn Designblok takes place, then the historic stone monuments combined with existing parts on the border between art and design. (Original) Poměrně malé, ale nabité skvosty. Velmi zajímavé, když se na podzim koná Designblok, pak jsou historické kamenné památky kombinované se současnými díly na pomezí designu a umění.

    I didn't know what to expect before to visit this place but i am pleasantly surprised to see these pieces of stone statues, typical from the great era of Bohemia, with overall original statues from Charles Bridges, that were took away after the 1848 shooting. You can visit this place fastly and enjoy it a lot if you love History !

    (Translated by Google) I do not really like museums, but it's a special museum that is located on the territory of the Holesovice exhibition center! Here, the original sculptures, which once adorned the famous Charles Bridge, are preserved. Because they are made of sandstone, which gradually began to deteriorate. In addition to these sculptures, there are many other famous sculptures, columns, fountains, ceilings of buildings! And the tickets are very cheap. A total of 50 CZK for adults. Highly recommend) (Original) Я не очень люблю музеи, но это особенный музей, который находится на территории выставочного центра Холешовице! Здесь сохранены оригинальные скульптуры, которые когда-то украшали знаменитый Карлов мост. Потому что они сделаны из песчаника, который постепенно начал приходить в негодность. Помимо этих скульптур там хранятся многие другие знаменитые скульптуры, колонны, фонтаны, потолки зданий! И билеты стоят очень дёшево. Всего 50 крон для взрослых. Очень рекомендую)

    (Translated by Google) A wonderful exposition spoiled by the idiotic short-term exhibition of film pseudo-art. Come here for sure when there's nothing like that. For the night of the museums, the really interesting exhibits were not even visible because of the blackout. (Original) Nádherná expozice zkažená idiotskou kratkodobou vystavou filmového pseudoumění. Zajděte sem určitě když zrovna nic podobného neprobíhá. Na noc muzeí nebyly ty opravdu zajímavé exponáty kvůli zatemnění ani vidět, svítil jsem si mobilem.

Visit as part of the event Up to 9 museums in 5 days for a ridiculous entrance fee of CZK 100. (Original) V pavilonu Lapidária naleznete největší českou sbírku kamenné plastiky od 11. století. Naleznete zde spousty exponátů, které pocházejí z pražských ulic, kde byla ustoupily výstavbě nebo politickým změnám. Prohlídka bez průvodkyně, ale dostanete podrobný popis všech exponátů. Případně v dalších jazyčných verzích. Přístupné od května do listopadu. Návštěva v rámci akce Do 9 muzeí v 5 dnech za směšné vstupné 100,- Kč.

    Pretty amazing sculptures, statues, and architecture from the 11th century to the present. Largely represented are statues of saints, ancestors of Bohemian royalty, and a few statesmen. The museum is a rather modest building but the pieces inside are awe inspiring. Don’t forget your camera. Allow yourself at least 2-3 hours here.

    (Translated by Google) If you are a supporter of history and love sculpture, stone art collections, be sure to visit the Lapidary of the National Museum, where you can admire all this. In the Lapidary of the National Museum there is an exposition Monuments of Stone Sculpture in Bohemia from the 11th to the 19th century, which acquaints us with rock processing and with the works of stonemasons and sculptors. Among them are sculptures from Parléř's smelter, a sculpture of St. George from the castle courtyard or original statues from Charles Bridge. (Original) Jestli jste přívrženec historie a milujete sochařství, kamenné umělecké sbírky, určitě navštivte Lapidárium Národního muzea, kde toto vše můžete obdivovat. V Lapidáriumu Národního muzea se nachází expozice Památky kamenosochařství v Čechách od 11. do 19. století, která nás seznamuje se zpracováním horniny a s díly kameníků a sochařů. Mezi nimi nechybí skulptury z Parléřovy huti, plastika sv. Jiří z hradního nádvoří nebo originály soch z Karlova mostu.

  • 5/5 Exclntadvntur J. 10 years ago on Google • 5 reviews
    An unexpected gem. This building houses (or it did when I stumbled upon it in 2005, whilst the Veletrzni palac art gallery up the road was shut at lunch time - the art and the building itself of that place being well worth waiting to open) numerous architectural treasures salvaged from around Prague ... from Roman gravestones to monumental Renaissance fountains. Enough to fill at least 4 large rooms, I recall. Put it on your list.

    (Translated by Google) My visit can be summed up without much talk in two words: an amazing experience. The collections of the Lapidary of the National Museum include two thousand collection items, of which over four hundred of the best pieces are exhibited in the building at the Exhibition Grounds. The others are kept in depositories. The exhibited fragments of sculpture and stonework from Bohemia (and especially from Prague) are really impressively arranged chronologically in several halls and you have the opportunity to follow the development of "art in stone" from the 11th to the beginning of the 20th century. The feeling of my own insignificance and "miniature" that I experienced in personal contact with all those monuments was cleansing. And after this purification, the body and mind could be filled with admiration and wonder from all the beauty, skill and mastery of our ancestors. If you are close, don't miss this exceptional exhibition! My visit can be summed up in two words without great speech: an amazing experience. The Lapidarium of the National Museum collects over two thousand objects, of which more than four hundred best pieces are exhibited in the building at the Výstaviště grounds. Others are kept in depository. The fragments of sculpture and stonework from Bohemia (and especially from Prague) are impressively chronological deployed in several halls, and you have the opportunity to see the development of an "art in stone" from the 11th to the beginning of the 20th century. The sense of my own insignificance that I experienced in personal contact with all those monuments was cleansing. Only after this experience the body and the mind could be filled with the admiration and astonishment of all the beauty, craftmanship and mastery of our ancestors. If you are near, do not miss this exceptional exposition! (Original) Má návštěva se dá bez velkých řečí shrnout dvěma slovy: úžasný zážitek. Sbírky Lapidária Národního muzea čítají na dva tisíce sbírkových předmětů, z nichž je v budově na Výstavišti vystaveno přes čtyři sta nejlepších kusů. Ostatní jsou udrženy v depozitářích. Vystavené fragmenty sochařství a kamenictví z Čech (a zejména z Prahy) jsou opravdu působivě chronologicky rozmístěny v několika sálech a vy máte možnost sledovat vývoj "umění v kameni" od 11. do začátku 20. století. Pocit vlastní bezvýznamnosti a "miniaturnosti", který jsem zažíval při osobním kontaktu se všemi těmi monumenty, byl očistný. A po této očistě mohl tělo i mysl zaplnit obdiv a úžas ze vší té krásy, umu a mistrovství našich předků. Pokud budete poblíž, nenechte si tuto vyjimečnou expozici ujít!

  • 5/5 Anna R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cool museum and not only for sculpture lovers. As the exhibits are arranged chronologically, you can easily see how the trends in art have changed. The museum also has some original sculptures from the Charles Bridge. At the entrance, you should also receive cards in English with information about the next rooms and interesting exhibits. I like this museum because not only does it show cool exhibits, but it feels like a diamond that's a bit undiscovered by tourists. (Original) Fajne muzeum i to nie tylko dla miłośników rzeźb. Ponieważ eksponaty są ułożone chronologicznie, można łatwo zauważyć jak zmieniały się trendy w sztuce. W muzeum są także niektóre oryginały rzeźb z Mostu Karola. Na wejściu powinniście także otrzymać kartki w języku angielskim z informacjami o kolejnych salach i ciekawych okazach. Lubie to muzeum, ponieważ nie tylko pokazuje fajne eksponaty, ale ma się uczucie, że to trochę taki nieodkryty przez turystów diament.
