| Reverse description | The reverse presents a split composition contrasting the historic Neo-Renaissance main building of the National Museum, its domed façade depicted in detailed architectural relief in the upper register, with the modern New Building of the museum shown in the lower register. The founding year 1818 appears at the top of the field and the commemorative year 2018 is inscribed along the lower rim. The legend NÁRODNÍ MUZEUM is inscribed horizontally across the central dividing line, flanked by the engraver's initials HP to the right. |

| Additional information |
The Czech National Museum on Wenceslas Square in Prague, founded in 1818, spent years under a comprehensive reconstruction that closed it to the public from 2011 until its reopening in October 2018 — precisely the bicentennial this coin commemorates. The closure uncovered significant structural damage from the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion, when Soviet tank fire struck the building's facade, damage that had been cosmetically patched rather than properly addressed during the communist period.
