Sherlock Holmes: Prague's Most Intriguing Exhibition of 2026

Sherlock Holmes: The Exhibition – Step Into the World's Greatest Detective Story in Prague and solve the Crime of the Century

From 26 June 2026 to 10 January 2027, Prague welcomes one of its most intriguing cultural attractions of the year. Sherlock Holmes: the most mysterious exhibition of all the time opens at Galerie Bílá Labuť on Na Poříčí, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the legendary detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Combining original artefacts, rare manuscripts, interactive investigations and cutting-edge forensic science, this internationally acclaimed exhibition offers a fascinating journey through literature, history and crime-solving in the very heart of Prague.

Far more than a traditional museum experience, the exhibition transports visitors into Victorian London, where they discover how Holmes revolutionised criminal investigation through observation, deduction and scientific reasoning. Original documents, historical artefacts and investigative tools inspired by Holmes' methods reveal the real-world influences behind one of literature's most enduring characters. Visitors can explore Conan Doyle's life and career, from his medical studies in Edinburgh to his rise as the creator of the world's most famous detective.

One of the exhibition's highlights is the meticulously recreated apartment at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson's adventures famously began. Guests can step inside this iconic setting before continuing through immersive galleries dedicated to forensic science, Victorian innovation and the remarkable cultural legacy of Sherlock Holmes. The exhibition also showcases an extraordinary collection of film and television memorabilia, including original props and costumes from major productions, offering a rare look at how the detective has evolved across generations of popular culture.

Adding to the experience, every visitor becomes part of the story. Instead of a traditional exhibition guide, guests receive a notebook filled with clues and evidence, challenging them to solve an original Sherlock Holmes mystery created exclusively for the exhibition. Through observation, deduction and problem-solving, visitors of all ages can test their detective skills and experience first-hand the investigative methods that made Holmes a global phenomenon.

Blending literature, science, history, interactive entertainment and world-class exhibition design, Sherlock Holmes: The Exhibition promises a unique experience unlike anything currently on offer in Prague. Whether visiting as a devoted fan of the detective, a lover of mystery stories, or simply in search of an exceptional cultural outing, this exhibition delivers an unforgettable journey into the art of deduction.
