The National Pedagogical Museum and Library of J. A. Comenius (Czech: Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského) is an institution in Prague that was created in 2011 by merging of two institutions: Pedagogical Museum (Valdstejnska 5) and Pedagogical Library of J. A. Comenius (Jeruzalemska 12).
The museum was established in 1892 in Prague as an expression of the Czech teacher's efforts to preserve and document traditions of Czech school system and pedagogy. It is one of the oldest museums in the Czech Republic. Since 1991, it has belonged to the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic. The museum is a research and resource centre focused on the history of Czech education, pedagogy, teachers and educatedness, referring to the life, work and legacy of John Amos Comenius.
Since 1996 it has found a new location in historical buildings dating back to the 14th century: The Golden Sun and The Golden Ship houses.
The collections comprise library items specialised in the development of Czech education in the European context, of an archive of written documents by classical authors in the field of pedagogy (including the so-called Slavín), a photo-archive and a collection of precious teaching aids including school pictures, graphic sheets, artistic prints and maps.
The Přemysl Pitter and Olga Fierz Archive forms an inseparable part of the museum.
