This museum documents the development of the Czech education system based on the work of Comenius, a Czech philosopher who influenced the concept of education in much of the civilised world.
Comenius was a Czech philosopher (1592-1670) who worked in Bohemia, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and England, having a large personal impact on the concept of education in many parts of the civilized world.
In a loose chronological order the visitor can follow the most important events, problems and phenomena from the Czech history of education, pedagogy and schooling which had shifted the development of education forward considering the then wholesome situation in Europe, or influenced to a great extent European development of education and scholarship.
Historical roots of the present and future development in the sphere of scholarship are also presented at the exhibition. The designers created several sectors which provide broader information on the presented dominants, so that those interested in deeper knowledge can see what role scholarship played in each particular period. The exhibition includes an interactive programme, part of which is a collection of school certificates.
