Overview

Housed in a single, spacious room with an excellent vantage point overlooking the River Vltava, this exhibition gives us a glimpse into the difficult life of the man who composed "The Bartered Bride" and the "My Country" symphonic poem-cycle. However, there are relatively few artifacts on display. Visitors can select a favorite Smetana tune by pointing with a laser—tipped 'baton'. A small section is devoted to changing exhibits about Smetana and the musical life of the nineteenth century.
