If you're in Prague for the first time and only have a couple days, I wouldn't recommend spending…read moreyour time here, it's better to absorb history while exploring the city. But if you're a return or longer-staying visitor -- or need an indoor activity -- this is a very well done museum telling the history of Prague from early settlement to the 20th century. All of the exhibits are logically laid out and have just the right amount of info in both Czech and English. Artifacts are numerous and contribute well. The building itself is a treasure, built specifically to house the museum over 100 years ago.

Whenever we travel, my husband loves to visit City Museums. They generally aren't heavily visited…read morebut they often have fascinating stories to tell and excellent insights into local history. Such is the case with the Prague City Museum - the displays start in Neolithic times and trace the history of the city through modern times through art, decorative objects and artifacts. Displays here are heavy on the period from the Middle Ages through the Baroque area, when the city flourished. Unlike the US, you can expect "minders" in most of the rooms to make sure you don't touch (even though it's all behind glass) or take photos (unless you paid extra for the "photo permit"). We ran into a really friendly, English speaking docent who talked about her favorite treasures here - I always like to see passionate museum people. Also, you know that gorgeous sundial in the Old Town Square - the one 3 billion tourists are crowded around, snapping photos and getting their pockets picked? It's a reproduction - you can see the real one here, up close with not another tourist in sight. Priceless.

Right at the river bank it has the flair of an artistic hipster enclave coupled with a beach bar…read more Very nice people, very nice atmosphere, nice beer and nice music. Definitely a place worth checking out. Here you can relax and chill out. Well, you need nice weather for all of it. But if it is nice waether you don't want to leave.

The Family chose drinks and we sat Down and play games and took turns walking Down the the riverside to take some photoes of the ducks hanging around near by. Go here, its a good 30 minute adventure :)

Different. That could be one of the words describing this place. It takes you from Prague and from…read moreEurope to Australia, Oceania, Africa or America (mainly Northern one). It´s well placed in a centrum of Prague and easy to find. And it´s wheelchair accesible. Vojtěch Náprstek was famous philantropist and czech patriot who was very interested in society and cultural life, mainly of the Native Americans. But thanks to other friends (antropoligists, doctors, or simply adventurers) who travelled around the world and brought him many artefacts from their journeys, he garthered a big amount of artefacts and was able to open a museum. It wasn´t the museum as we know it today. It was smaller but during the decades and thanx to more and more artefacts coming in from different parts of the world the museum became one of the most significant centers of cultural education in Czech Republic in the 19th century. And what you will see there today? The museum exhibition is divided into three parts/floors. Two of these floors host a permanent exhibition - the first one is Culture of Native Americans and the second one Australia and Oceania. While the other floor host a different exhibitions which change every half an year (approximately). There is one about Egypt and Nubia (pharao´s times) these days. Museum is full of artefacts mainly tools, jewels, masks, textile etc. Generally speaking items of a daily life and also religion one (ritual masks, weapons etc.). Everything what somehow characterizes the cultures (people) which are the exhibitions about. Everything is well decribed in czech and english. Museum is usually not crowded so it´s quiet and you can enjoy the experience. So enjoy it and let them take you thousands of kilometers away for a few hours :-)
