Josefa Křížková Náprstková, Benefactress of the Museum
Original language description
2013 was the anniversary both of the founding of the Náprstek Museum and of the birth of Josefa Náprstková, the wife of Vojta Náprstek. Although she started out as an ordinary maid without any great education, after her husband?s death Josefa took over the running of the museum and its public library, and above all managed to acquire interesting exhibits for the museum from literally all over the world. In total, she presented the museum with over 6,000 artefacts, and mediated countless gifts. She alsofounded an extensive display of traditional lace and embroidery. Although many of her donations were transferred to other museums when the collections were divided up in the 1940s, the Náprstek Museum continued to hold items documenting the journeys of leading Czech travellers (Josef Kořenský, Enrique Stanko Vráz, Otakar Feistmantel, Josef Wünschew, Martin z Lány and others).
