Collections

Our collections are searchable through CES online

CES online is an internet portal dedicated to museum collections records kept by the Czech Ministry of Culture’s central collections register (Centralni evidence sbirek, or “CES”). Per Act No. 122/2000 Coll., on the Protection of Collections of a Museum Nature and on Amendments to Certain Other Acts, the CES is a publicly accessible register with remote access – a list of collections that are maintained, updated, managed and used in the public interest and the activities of those who care for them are or may be subsidized by public funds.

The central register provides in electronic form, with photographs and text descriptions, a basic introduction to a specific cultural wealth, which can be further explored through hundreds of exhibitions and displays in museums and galleries, or in the collections of private or legal persons throughout the Czech Republic.
