The national cultural monument was designed by architect Adolf Loos and built for the family of František Müller. It houses a study and documentation centre for researchers. The Raumplan space concept was used in the construction. The interior is in the spirit of modern functionalism and classical English style.

The main mission of the centre is to promote modern Prague interwar and post-war architecture, residential culture, applied arts and lifestyle, represented in different ways in the two buildings, in close connection with two important villas - Müller and Rothmayer.

We offer a permanent exhibition of musical instruments, mainly electric guitars of Czechoslovak production and selected keyboard instruments. We also organize short-term exhibitions. We provide information service for professionals and the general public. We collect and archive written documents, audio-visual recordings, etc.

The monastery was founded in 993 by Prince Boleslav II together with Bishop St. Adalbert. The original structures were Romanesque. The church’s 11th-century crypt has been preserved beneath the Baroque Basilica of St. Margaret. The Baroque complex was built between 1708 and 1745 according to a design by Kryštof and Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer.
