Mozart, Smetana, Dvorák, and More

The three major composers connected with Prague—Mozart, Smetana, and Dvorák—all have museums dedicated to their lives and work in the city.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

During his frequent visits to Prague, Mozart stayed with his friends in the beautiful, small Neoclassical Villa Bertramka, now the Mozart Museum. The Salzburg prodigy felt more appreciated in Prague than in his homeland, and the villa, surrounded by a peaceful garden, preserves artifacts from his time there. Intimate concerts are held some afternoons and evenings, either in the garden or in the small concert hall (museum entry—110 Kc, daily April-Oct 9:30-18:00, Nov-March 9:30-17:00, Mozartova 169, Praha 5; from Metro: Andel, it’s a 10-minute walk—head to Hotel Mövenpick and then go up alley behind hotel; tel. 257-317-465, www.bertramka.cz).
