The National Agricultural Museum is a state-funded (contributory) organisation based in Prague. Its founding authority is currently the Ministry of Agriculture. The institution's original name was the Czech Agricultural Museum (established at the founding general meeting of the like-named association, held on 28 September 1918). Soon after the end of the First World War, however, at the initiative of Antonín Švehla it was renamed the Czechoslovak Agricultural Museum, an institute for the study and advancement of the countryside. The museum's operation was funded by contributions from the association's members, subsidies from the Ministry of Agriculture, and various enterprises and companies, such as the Central Unions of Economic Cooperatives, the Agrarian Bank, the Association of Slovak Sugar Refineries, and others. In 1952 the association was incorporated into the Czechoslovak Academy of Agriculture, later the Czechoslovak Academy of Agricultural Sciences (ČAZV), which in practice meant its dissolution and the nationalisation of the museum. After the ČAZV was abolished in 1961, the museum passed to the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information, and from 1975 to the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information for Agriculture, of which it remained part until 1992. On 22 December 1992, by decision of the Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic, the state contributory organisation National Agricultural Museum in Prague was established. The Ministry of Culture acted as its founding authority until 30 April 2006, when, under an agreement between the Minister of Culture and the Minister of Agriculture, the institution passed into the agriculture portfolio and a new contributory organisation was founded. On 1 December 2015 it was renamed to its current form, the National Agricultural Museum, s.p.o. Under its founding charter, the National Agricultural Museum (hereinafter also NZM) acquires, collects, permanently preserves, records, professionally processes and makes accessible to the public a collection of material evidence of the development of agriculture, forestry, game management, fishing, zoology, horticulture, viticulture, botany, the environment, the processing of agricultural products, the food industry and gastronomy, evidence of the development and growth of the countryside, traditions, the development of the environment and the cultural landscape — both Czech and foreign, particul
