A part of the collections of the Náprstek Museum also includes exhibits documenting the life and activity of Vojta Náprstek. Among them belong thirty paintings of educational and social institutes of the Anglo-American world. They were painted by Alois Studnička, and Vojta Náprstek displayed them in 1865 at an exhibition at Žofín in Prague.
