From record-breaking attendance to unanimous critical acclaim, this year's festival is captivating with its perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Whether you're a seasoned Shakespeare enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of Shakespeare, you're welcome to join us on an unforgettable journey through the master's most beloved works.

The new interactive exhibition at the National Museum invites you to a unique encounter with one of the most outstanding figures in modern Czech history—Frandisška Praminkova. A teacher, politician, pioneer of the women's rights movement, and anti-Nazi fighter, Praminkova is presented not only vividly as a historical figure but also as a dialogue partner for exploring courage, equality, and civic responsibility. This exhibition aims to present a vibrant dialogue connecting the past and the present. It showcases how the values ​​Praminkova fought for throughout her life influence our lives and inspire the younger generation. At the beginning of the exhibition, you will see a solemn marble bust by Kara Vobisova, symbolizing Praminkova's return to the public eye. Then, you can immerse yourself in the relics donated to the museum by Frantishka Praminkova's sister—from her senator's ID card to her iconic work briefcase and her protectorate-era passport, all of which accompanied her to international conferences advocating for women's rights. The exhibition also includes personal photographs, copies of letters (including a famous letter to Adolf Hitler), and an extraordinary library with over 700 volumes containing authentic notebooks that reveal her thoughts and the factors that shaped her. "Frantishka Praminkova and Us" invites us to reflect on how her legacy is reflected in today's world and our own place within it.
