The museum is divided into several departments. The main ones include history and science. The museum has several temporary exhibitions that focus on the ancient, medieval and modern periods of history. There is also an audio guide available for visitors.

The museum is a large building, which was originally a palace of Count Sternberg. It was designed by Josef Schultz, an architect who also built Prague National Theatre.

During your Prague sightseeing tour, you should make a visit to the National Museum, which is one of the largest museums in the Czech Republic. The museum has over 14 million artifacts ranging from the mediaeval to modern times.

The museum features 17 rooms with a wide range of exhibits, such as a large wax museum and the oldest Jewish synagogue in Europe. It also boasts a cloakroom and a cafe. The main hall has royal staircases and enchanting ceilings.

For a more interactive experience, visit the Gallery Of Steel Figures, which features sculptures made from recycled steel scraps. These sculptures are inspired by cartoon characters, animals and movie stars.

UNESCO-listed small town of Kutra Hora

UNESCO designated Kutna Hora, a medieval town, as a World Heritage Site in 1995. Its rich historical landscape is filled with monuments and late Gothic and Baroque architecture. You can tour this quaint town on a day trip from Prague.

Kutna Hora is located about 80 kilometers east of Prague. Once home to Europe's leading silver mines, Kutna Hora was a trading and political center. The town's prosperity helped finance many of its most beautiful structures.

Kutna Hora's main attraction is the Sedlec Ossuary, which is a cave-like space that contains 40,000-70,000 human bones. It is the largest ossuary in the world.

Communism tour

Located in the heart of Prague, the Museum of Communism is a great way to learn about the history of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. This museum provides historical artifacts and a film that will explain the basics of the Communist era. It is also a good place to learn about the era's good and bad aspects.

The museum is divided into three main sections, each covering different aspects of the Communist era. The first is the chronological display. It covers the events of the era, starting with the rise of Nazi rule in the 1930s and ending with the fall of communism in 1989.

Stroller-friendly

Taking a stroller-friendly Prague National Museum tour with a guide is the best way to get a good look at what is on display. The Prague of Prague is a compact city with an efficient public transport system that is a breeze to navigate. Despite its small size, it packs a punch when it comes to cultural, historical and foodie experiences. The city has plenty of good food and drink options, and has several notable museums. There are several tour companies in Prague, each with their own unique spin on the tour. A typical tour lasts a week or so, and covers about a dozen museums and galleries. Depending on which company you choose, the price tag will vary.

The first museum in Prague was established in 1818 by the Czech Society of Patriotic Friends of the Arts. Noblemen donated collections to the first museum. The museum's main hall has royal staircases and enchanting ceilings.

The Prague National Museum is one of the largest museums in the Czech Republic. It focuses on the Neolithic period to the 10th century BC. It also has a special collection of musical instruments. There are also examples of applied arts, design, and crafts.

Free but still pretty cheap

Until the end of 2019, the Prague National Museum is free. This museum is the largest in the Czech Republic and houses over 14 million items. It's a unique experience, designed to stimulate your senses.

The National Museum occupies two buildings on Wenceslas Square. It's free to enter and it's a great place to explore. The interior of the building is decorated with Gothic and Baroque furnishings. It also has a large fresco that illustrates the story of the Czech people.

Prague National Museum

Founded in 1818, the Prague National Museum is one of the largest and most popular museums in the world. It is housed in a beautiful Neo-Renaissance building designed by Josef Schulz. The building is located on the upper end of Wenceslas Square. Its imposing front facade embodies the symbolism of the Czech Republic.

The building is home to fourteen million objects. It has a history branch and a natural history wing. The history branch focuses on the prehistory, Czech history, and theatre. The natural history wing exhibits zoology, paleontology, botany, and mineralogy. The anthropology and numismatics branches are also housed here.

The museum's first building was the Sternberg Palace, located right outside the main entrance to Prague Castle. It was the first location to house the Royal Bohemian Collection. Kaspar Maria Sternberg served as the museum's first operator and first president of the Society of the Patriotic Museum. The museum's collection expanded by the early twentieth century. It was later moved to Nostik Palace in Na Prikope.

Prague National Museum

In the early years of the museum, the focus was on natural sciences. This was due to the natural science slant of Emperor Joseph II of Austria. The early leaders of the museum tried to balance history and natural science. They wrote the Treatise of 1841, which outlined their philosophy of the museum.

The National Museum building was damaged by aerial bombs in 1945 and by Soviet military vehicles during a Prague uprising in 1968. In addition, the building suffered from excessive noise levels and dangerously high dust levels. In 1968, the front facade was damaged by a Soviet machine gun fire. A reconstruction was completed between 1970 and 1972.

The National Museum has been closed for reconstruction since 2011. It was supposed to reopen on October 28, 2018, on the 100th anniversary of Czechoslovakian independence. It was the largest move of museum collections in Czech history. During the reconstruction, the museum building was rebuilt and the facade was reconstructed. It was then combined with a new underground passage. The building also suffered from constant vibrations from heavy road traffic. However, the leadership of the museum did not want to compromise its original appearance. They enlarged the initial area by thirty percent.

One of the most prominent exhibits at the National Museum is the Langweil Model of Prague. This model was built by Antonin Langweil in the early 1830s, and is largely complete. However, it was incomplete by the time of his death.

The building's facade is also home to a allegorical sculptural group that testifies to the unity of Czech lands. The high dome of the museum contains 72 lights that represent Czech culture. The building is considered to be one of the most visited sites in Prague. The museum is also home to an outdoor Czech restaurant. It is popular with culture buffs and history buffs.

The museum is also home to the Czech Museum of History. The history branch is divided into multiple sections and is largely focused on prehistory, Czech history, and numismatics. It is a good place to take kids. There are also family programs. The museum is free on the first Monday of the month. The museum is also home to a unique library. There are about eight thousand priceless ancient manuscripts and rare book editions in the library.
