Since the time of its construction, it has not been significantly repaired — it was damaged in two military attacks in 1945 and 1968. The building underwent an extensive renovation, which transformed it into a modern museum space. It was symbolically opened to the public on 28 October 2018 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic.
