En
The first headquarters of the Oriental Institute was in the Lobkowicz (Lobkovický) Palace at Malá Strana. This baroque palace was built on the site of the former brewery of the Strahov monastery. In 1927, the Lobkovics sold the property to the Czechoslovak state, which subsequently became the home of Oriental scholars until 1945. The building was shared with the Monuments Office, the Slavic Institute, the Archaeological Institute, the Masaryk Labor Academy, and other institutions. See all items with this value
