This small university museum is part of the Faculty of Science at Charles University in Prague. Its permanent exhibition explores human evolution, the development of a human being, pathology, death and human diversity and variability. For decades in Prague, a visit to Hrdlička Museum of Man has been part of an education in biology at the primary, secondary and university levels. The museum is a cultural site of memory, having its own distinctive character, historical tradition and sense of continuity. It resembles a ‘cabinet of curiosities’ which transports visitors to the past, while simultaneously exhibiting the latest in scientific discovery. In fact, the museum’s direct connection to the academic world allows it to work in partnership with today’s scientific masterminds, presenting the outcomes of their work to the general public.
