Museum T. G. Masaryk Lany Rakovník, Czechia

The T. G. M. Museum in Rakovník, a contributory organization established by the Central Bohemian Regional Authority, has collections thematically focused on the Rakovník Region. This region is located a short distance to the west of Prague. The T. G. M. Museum in Rakovník operates several interesting museums in this region – the Rakovník Museum, the Nové Strašecí Museum, the T.G. Masaryk Museum at Lány, and the National History Museum at Jesenice and the Joachim Barrande Museum at Skryje.

The relatively new T.G. Masaryk Museum in Lány was opened in 2000 in the reconstructed granary building. Just like its parent organisation, it is named after the first Czechoslovak president, whose summer retreat was in the nearby cheateau in Lány.

The exposition contains a representative reconstruction of the Prague apartment of the Masaryk family between the years 1895–1910, the authentic interior of a 19th century tobacconist’s shop, the reconstruction of a trench on the eastern front during the period of the First World War (1914–1918) and the long-term exhibition entitled Masaryk in Art.
