Study Center of Modern Architecture and Repository at Norbertova

Nearby Müller Villa stands in the protected zone of Old Střešovice at Nad Hradním vodojemem street, a building with no. 53. Today, the building houses the Norbertov Study and Documentation Center. Its main mission is to promote modern Prague interwar and post-war architecture, residential culture, applied arts, and lifestyle, in close connection with the two significant villas – Müller and Rothmayer – represented in different ways in both buildings. While Müller Villa belongs, especially with its interiors and the personality of architect Adolf Loos, to the golden fund of European modern architecture, Rothmayer Villa, much humbler in architectural expression, but rich in cultural life which took place in the villa and in Sudek's "garden of the magician," is still waiting for its entry into public awareness.
On the ground floor of the building, there is an exhibition space, where themes and personalities related to both villas will gradually be presented through exhibitions and lectures. The hall will also serve the general and professional public for meetings and discussions, lectures, workshops, and other events aimed at fostering an appreciation of modern architecture and culture. The center also includes a depository for storing items from both villas that have not been exhibited, an archive with documentation on the reconstruction of both buildings, results of research on the work of Adolf Loos in the Czech lands, and a specialized, thematically focused library. For researchers, a reading room is located on the first floor, with the opportunity to study archival materials and professional literature.
