Museum of the City of Prague Archaeological finds and historical artefacts

Na Porící 52 Prague 18600 +420 2 2481 6773 http://www.muzeumprahy.cz

Here you'll find case after case of historical artefacts, documents, weapons and maps documenting the history of Prague from early archaeological finds to 18th century ones. One of the highlights is the huge cardboard model of the city created by a servant at the National Museum—Antonin Langweil—between 1826 and 1834. The detail is amazing, down to the colours of doorways and the designs of windowsills—you could spend hours comparing 'then' with 'now'.Perhaps the most amazing thing of all is the fact that Prague's historic city centre has altered so little since those times. Admission: Adults - 30 Kc; Concessions - 15 Kc; admission is free on the first Thursday of every month. Review © 2009, Wcities
