President of the Lobkowicz Collections
Alexandra Lobkowicz was born in Boston, the daughter of a French mother and a Romanian diplomat father. She graduated in 1985 from Boston College where she earned her degree in Education. She began her career teaching at both public and private schools in Boston before her permanent relocation to Prague in 1991 with her husband, William. Alexandra became intimately involved in the restitution efforts of her husband’s family.
Alexandra is President of the non-profit Lobkowicz Collections, responsible for their day-to-day management and public display. She has overseen the curation and implementation of exhibitions, including Six Centuries of European Art Patronage at Nelahozeves Castle, opened with Former President of the Czech Republic Václav Havel (1997); The Princely Collections at the Lobkowicz Palace in Prague Castle (2007); and a new exhibition at Nelahozeves Castle entitled Private Spaces, A Noble Family at Home (2007). Alexandra has supervised international loans and restoration projects, as well as developed ongoing educational programs around the collections. She continues to explore the creative intersection of education and technology, particularly how digital tools can enhance learning and engagement with culture.
Alexandra has served on the board of a private school in Boston, as well as chaired the ISP Fund for Education, a Czech non-profit which raised funds for Czech schools.
