 Good for a VERY rainy day by gilabrand
The building, is impressive, of course, and you can't miss it when visiting the city center as it is located at the very top of Wenceslas Square, commanding a view of the whole boulevard. In fact, the cupola is visible from quite a distance and served as a kind of compass for us as we wandered the streets.
The museum, of pinkish brown stone, with carved balustrades, rows of columns and a sweeping, palatial staircase is beautiful to look it. On the first landing as you climb the stairs sits a grand piano. A man at the entrance practically begged us to come in for a late afternoon concert. Half price, he said, and free for your little girl. But we had just landed in Prague and my daughter was too hungry and tired at that point.
Looking over the balustrade we saw a small group of grim-faced people gathered below, around a small patch of scorched sidewalk marked by a few flowers. From what I gathered, a protester had recently burned himself to death on that spot.
But to get back to the museum, no one seemed to be able to tell me what sort of museum it was. A national museum, yes. But did that mean art, or history or what? On our last day in Prague, it rained a bit, so we decided to give the place a try. What we found was a very old-fashioned museum boasting row after row of dark wood display cases full of rocks and minerals and shells. All the signs were in Czech. The guards were elderly women, very stern looking Communist-types. My husband almost sparked an international incident by leaning too close to one of the display cases. These ladies followed us around wherever we went.
One floor, smelling strongly of formaldehyde, featured stuffed animals and birds. A highlight was a collection of bottled human embryos and babies with various deformities.

Located at the top of the hill in Wenceslas Square is the dark and gloomy NATIONAL MUSEUM. A refreshing fountain dances in front to liven things up a bit. Hans and I didn't go inside as it wasn't open the day we were there. Apparently it's closed on Tuesdays.
Usually open 10 - 6 p.m.
Adults 80 CZK
Children under 6 free Leave a Comment

 one of the rooms of the
football exhibition by Pupa
Lots of interesting things and different trophies, also a big screen showing the most exciting moments of the game and a small football field where they show black and white videos of old games. Leave a Comment
