What a great find to stumble upon in the touristy part of Old Town, across the famous clock tower…read more Had an awesome time seeing and trying out the optical illusion exhibits! It is an interactive museum where you can be a part of the illusions and take cool photos. Messes with your mind in a good way! One drawback is that the floor up usually has a perfect view of the Tower when it chimes on the hour and does tricks, but since the tower was closed that day (renovations) plus the 2nd floor exhibit was closed, we got a slight discount. Nevertheless, the first floor of exhibits was still fun!

One of the highlights of my trip to Prague was the National Technical Museum (Národní technické…read moremuzeum). It was fantastic. The museum is quite large, with 7 floors (floors -3 to 3, with a floor 0), and including a quick lunch at the museum, I was there for nearly five hours. The exhibits I saw were: Technology in the Home; Printing; Astronomy; Television Studio; Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Design; Photography; Chemistry Around Us; Measurement of Time; Transportation; Steam Engines in the Czech Lands; Metallurgy; Mining; and a temporary exhibit on Taiwan, which was in place of the Technology in Toys exhibit. My favourite exhibits were the astronomy, time, and chemistry exhibits. The astronomy exhibit had really cool instruments, and I probably spent the longest in that exhibit. The Technology in the Home exhibit was pretty interesting as well, and had household appliances on display from the mid-19th century to present time. I didn't care too much for the Taiwan exhibit, although the display of ancient Chinese locks and keys was neat. Overall, this is an amazing museum, and I highly recommend it. The only issue I had, however, was at the restaurant. Before I went to the museum, I checked on their website that they took credit card, which they did. However, for some reason, the restaurant took cash only, which was not mentioned on the website, nor were there any signs indicating this, so I only found out after I had ordered my food. And as I was towards the end of my trip in Prague, I was running low on cash. So beware about that, and bring cash just in case. Other things to note: there is no wi-fi, but it is wheelchair accessible. [Yelp collections: Europe 2015; Prague, Czech Republic; Museums and Art Galleries]

Rounding up our tour of Prague, our group was taken here to a small concert, a pianist and two…read morevocalists, which consisted of a number of Dvorak's music and a couple of pieces by Mozart and Handel in a small room on the 2nd floor. The room handled our 25 members. The museum also has a number of rooms with Dvorak's instruments, sheet music, and correspondence. The fee to get in to the museum was around 40 Czech Kc, about $2. The concert was extra and handled by the tour group. If you're a fan of the Dvorak, give it a try.

The location in central and easy to combine with other museums in the area.

I stopped by this place just to look around and ended up buying a ticket to the chocolate museum…read moreand workshop, because they had a student discount. *THE CHOCOLATE MUSEUM* The museum is quite small, and frankly pretty boring. It was a weird combination of the history of chocolate, the history of the Czech Republic, the history of chocolate in the Czech Republic, ... and random wax statues that I feel they just plopped into the rooms just to entice viewers to visit the wax museum too. The "free chocolate" samples that was described at the entrance was only located in the middle of the tour, which consists of 5 chocolate disk dispensers (like the chocolate you use for baking, not actual chocolates for snacking). They also have a praline making demonstration every 30 minutes, which lasts about 5 minutes, and you get to sample the end product. *THE WORKSHOP* The lady at the reception told me that there were two chocolate making workshop locations - one on the second floor and another one at the entrance of the shop, on the ground floor. I was redirected to the one at the bottom, and although it was nice because I didn't have to share the space with anyone else, it was EXTREMELY awkward because all the customers could watch as I was the only one making my chocolates, and were watching me like a caged animal haha It was a pretty straightforward workshop - the worker fills the piping bag with your choice of chocolate, and you simply just pipe the chocolate into the plastic molds, put your toppings on, and let it cool for about 10 minutes while you shop around. *THE SHOP* The shop is fairly large and has a wide variety of chocolates - they have chocolate tabs, chocolate covered nuts, melting chocolates, pralines, etc. You also get a 10% off coupon for the store items when you buy a ticket to the chocolate museum, and the melting chocolates were 50% off with the coupon.

From the owner: V našem muzeu je ke shlédnutí kompletní historie výroby vozů značky Trabant, od prvního předchůdce…read moreTrabanta AWZ P70(1954), přes Trabant P 60 (600), Trabant 601 nejběžnější a nejznámější provedení, až po nejnovějšího čtyřtaktního Trabanta 1,1 s motorem původem z VW POLO (1989 - 1991), se kterým byla výroba těchto vozů v roce 1991 ukončena. Všechny tyto vystavené vozy jsou prezentovány v původním dochovaném stavu. Máme zde také kompletně vybavenou dobovou garáž s opravovaným závodním Trabantem, tak jak ji tu opravář uprostřed práce zanechal. V části uříznutého vozu si můžete zkusit, jak se tehdy sedělo, řídilo a řadilo v Trabantu. Vojenský Trabant Kübel tu společně s vojáky hlídá Brandenburskou bránu v Berlíně, před vpádem nepřátelských imperialistických vojsk. V závěru prohlídky jsou vystaveny předměty denní potřeby původem z bývalé NDR, od hraček přes elektroniku, toaletní potřeby až třeba po lahve od různých dobových nápojů. Prostě každému se tady rozzáří oči nad něčím, co doma míval, běžně užíval a dnes už na to jen rád s nostalgií vzpomíná. Aby si mohli rodiče vše v klidu prohlédnout, připravili jsme pro děti závodní dráhu, kde si mohou samy s modely trabantů zasoutěžit. Další atrakce je funkční model vláčků, kde mašinka s vagónky převáží vyrobené Trabanty.
