The Smetana Museum honors one of the Czech Republic's favorite composers. Attend a concert anywhere in Prague and you are likely to hear Smetana's music. The museum preserves Smetana's musical scores and personal items in a building on the Vltava River near Charles Bridge.
Dvořák Museum

The museum dedicated to Dvořák, a composer whose name is probably more familiar to Americans than Smetana's, is located in an early 18th century structure in New Town Prague. While visitors can see items and music associated with Dvořák, rooms in the house are decorated in the same style they were when the composer lived there towards the end of the 18th century, too.
