Czech Center Museum Houston
Established in 1995, the Czech Center Museum Houston (CCMH) was created to celebrate, share and promote the rich culture of a major Slavic ethnic group and their history. Functions held in this Baroque-style building reminiscent of European castles and palaces, not just the Slavic community, engage in an environment that celebrates the diversity of world citizens. Open to the general public, the museum and gallery offer paintings, artifacts, photography, sculpture, porcelain and crystal in permanent and changing exhibitions. Groups can book the first floor Brno Gallery (seating 125 for dinner or hosting 200 for a reception) or the spacious second-floor Prague Hall with a dance floor that accommodates up to 250 for a dinner. The staff will help arrange your affair from a simple reception to full dinner service with DJ or orchestra for dancing and provide all the accoutrements and amenities to support your function.
