About

The Lobkowicz Collections is the oldest, largest and most intact private collection of art and architecture in the Czech Republic. Since restitution of our property in the 1990s, our mission has been to conserve, restore, and make available to the public these world-renowned works of art, rare books, manuscripts, cultural resources and castles.

The organization is comprised of several key divisions: Lobkowicz Collections o.p.s., which oversees the care, exhibition and study of objects in The Collections; Lobkowicz Events Management, which handles the organization and implementation of special events, private functions and corporate travel programs, both at the properties and throughout the country; the American Friends for the Preservation of Czech Culture (AFPCC), which assists Lobkowicz Collections o.p.s. with fundraising support; and the Lobkowicz family, which supports and guides the direction of the organization as a whole.

Together these divisions strive to create unique cultural, educational, travel and entertainment experiences for art and music lovers, history-enthusiasts, students, scholars and visitors of all ages.

Whether planning a museum visit or scholarly project, a corporate excursion or your wedding, we encourage you to come, get to know us.
