The Rudolfinum is a music auditorium and one of the most important neo-renaissance buildings in Prague. During many decades it is the home-stage of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and one of the main venues for the Prague Spring International Music Festival held each year from May-June. The building was designed by architects Josef Zítek and his student Josef Schulz, and was opened February 8, 1885. It is named in the honour of Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria, who presided over the opening.

The building houses the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and the Gallery Rudolfinum which is an contemporary art gallery.
