Description Museum pedagogy with all its theoretical and practical aspects is a discipline, which in the Czech Republic currently experiences a period of boom. The past twenty years of unrestricted development, when museums ceased to serve as a tool of official propaganda and returned to free interpretation of their collections, saw not only an increase in interest of the society in museums but also a struggle of museums for new audience. From a practical view we thus find a wide offer of activities and fringe programmes of various quality, and on a theoretical level we can follow up the interest of museologists and pedagogues in the hinterland of the discipline. Museum pedagogy in the Czech Republic rests on a solid base of a long-time tradition. The paper gives a brief overview of the development of this discipline in the Czech Republic both on a theoretical level and from the view of education at the Masaryk University in Brno.
