The exhibition on the ground floor of the Castle (accessible via the entrance from the Inner Courtyard) is primarily intended for visitors who have come to the park not only to relax and enjoy the aesthetic experience, but also to learn something at the same time. The exhibition begins by explaining why the introduction of plants was so important to mankind, gives an historical overview of when trees found their way into Europe, and names the most important tree species.  It introduces the most important people and institutions associated with the Průhonice Park.  The second part of the exhibition is dedicated to the history of landscaping and garden art.

Botanical Stories – World of Plants  From Knowledge to Use

Our botanists have designed the exhibition for visitors of all ages… it’s never too early or too late to learn! The exhibition was created by adapting an exhibition prepared in 2015 as part of the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts, the predecessor of today’s Czech Academy of Sciences.
