J. A. Komensky - better known as Comenius - lived from 1592 to 1670 and is considered a founder of humanistic pedagogy. He is also known for his illustrated children's book 'Orbis Pictus.'

As a minister of the Moravian Brethren, he fled the Czech lands following the Catholic victory over the Czech Protestants in 1620. He maintained close ties with Protestants in England and Holland as he strove to bring about peace. He finally died in Amsterdam.

Few people visit this interesting exhibition which is to be found in the middle of Mala Strana.

Admission: Adults - 6 Kc; Concessions - 3 Kc.
