The event A Year in the Village: Walpurgis Night went smoothly, playfully, and most importantly, with happy visitors of all ages. Take a look at the photos from the event—and don’t forget, the Year in the Village series continues on June 7, when we’ll show you how Whitsun was celebrated in the past.
Discover the rebirth of Dvořák’s life, legacy, and home. The story of the world-famous composer Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904) began in the small Bohemian village of Nelahozeves, 35 km north of Prague.
Connecting music and place, the immersive and interactive visitor experience is inspired by the sights and sounds of Dvořák’s rural childhood to reveal their influences on his future musical masterpieces. An exhibition of historic objects and imaginative displays combines engaging multimedia content, including a personal audio guide experience, narrated by an older Antonín Dvořák. Visitors will dwell in the authentic atmosphere of the house itself, while also learning the story of Dvořák’s early life. The house and grounds also serve as a cultural center offering dedicated music education courses, workshops, concerts, a meditation garden, and community enrichment programs for visitors of all ages and capabilities.
Antonín Dvořák rose from humble origins as the son of a local butcher and innkeeper, to become an internationally renowned composer. His Baroque birth house serves as a significant cultural monument, reflecting the formative environment that shaped his musical genius.
