    The Czech Center Museum Houston is a 501(c)(3) educational and cultural arts non-profit organization dedicated to the exploration and preservation of Czech and Slovak heritage and proud to be one of Houston's eighteen fine museums. There are estimated one million persons of that descent living in the state of Texas who have contributed significantly to the development of Texas and most certainly to our nation.

    Not only do we further the public's knowledge of Czech and Slovak culture but we also serve as a catalyst for discussion of all heritage, as we become a citizen of the world when we know our hosts; at the same time this lends to a more civil society.

    Incorporated in 1996, the Museum is open to the public for exhibits, concerts, lectures, language courses and other activities. This beautiful Baroque-style building houses a museum and Brno Gallery with a permanent exhibit of antique furniture from European Castles, folk art such as toys, dolls, and figurines, traditional costume, an extensive collection of Bohemian Crystal and Czech porcelain and ceramics, antique jewelry as well as numerous paintings and Moravian hand painted pottery.

    The Museum offers genealogy research and library resources. The Museum includes Wenceslas ecumenical chapel, Prague Hall grand ballroom and business meeting rooms in addition to Prague International Gifts, featuring unique gifts of the Bohemian world such as Bohemian crystal and porcelain, antique Czech garnet jewelry and other collectibles from several countries, especially the Czech Republic.

    Visitors may tour the Czech Center or shop at our Prague International Gifts Shop Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For further information visit www.czechcenter.org, call 713.528.2060 or email us at czech@czechcenter.org.
