Educational programmes

For school groups, clubs, groups of active senior citizens and others from the general public we offer educational programmes led by experienced lecturers. The programmes can liven up the visit to the museum and library, and at the same time provide knowledgeable information about the history and development of education and culture on Czech territory. The programmes have been prepared as a teaching aid to improve social studies teaching.
