Mission: We inspire people from every background to connect to czech and slovak history and culture. We are a museum that celebrates life. Czech life. Slovak life. American life. We are a museum that encourages self-discovery, a museum that asks what it means to be free. Through extraordinary exhibitions and experiences, we tell stories of freedom and identity, family and community, human rights and dignity. Our stories connect yesterday with today and tomorrow.

Programs: The national czech & slovak museum & library (ncsml) operates a museum which reaches the community through exhibits, education as well as a non-circulating library. We had 8 exhibits in 2017 including "chihuly art and "art of accessories". Education programming featured school study trips that provide a multicultural adventure, connecting students to the larger, global community in a personal manner. In 2017, the ncsml served more than 5,600 students, and provided educational programs that reached more than 48,000 members of the general public. The multilingual library collection includes books, periodicals, oral histories, and archival materials. The library holds the largest collection of czech and slovak recorded music outside of the czech republic and slovakia.
