Reputation and Oblivion: The History of Václav Stejskal´s Eastern Asia Collection

Original language description

Václav Stejskal (1851 ? 1934), a traveller and collector, is an important donor to the Náprstek Museum. His collection from the Far East and the Southeast Asia contains almost seven hundred items. Václav Stejskal joined the Austro-Hungarian Imperial andRoyal War Navy, and travelled to Asia in 1886-1888. After his return he belonged to a circle around Vojta Náprstek (1826 - 1894), the founder of the Náprstek Museum. Before his death he presented his collection to the newly established National Museum. However, the collection remained poorly documented in museum depositories, and with political changes after the World War II, his name as a collector and traveller was almost forgotten to the wider public. The article analyses and evaluates the collectionitems.
