Things to do in Prague, Bohemia: The Best Museums

February 27, 2022 Janean Rudisill

The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

If you want to visit Narodni Gallery Praha you need to know in advance what you want to see because there are several locations. We chose to visit Trade Fair Palace. It's a little far from the city centre and the hotel where we were staying, but we got there easily using the tram. The building that houses the museum was built in the early 20th century and rebuilt with difficulty after a massive fire in 1974. The interior space has wide openings and an indoor elevator, overlooking this space, connects the floors. Collections are organized very professionally, during periods and current, offering the public works from the mid-1700s to the present. It was a delight to discover the outstanding works of many Czech artists that I did not know about until this visit. When we visited the Galleries, a temporary exhibition was dedicated to Alberto Giacometti. It was a real privilege to admire so many of the artist's creations gathered in one place. For art lovers, Narodni Galerie Gallery is an outstanding place.

We spent 6+ hours ... seriously ...exploring this fabulous museum. Each section was set out chronologically and kept us captivated with interesting displays that told the story of technology based on specific themes. Whilst mainly Czech focussed, there were plenty of english translations. Our first 2 hours were spent on the main floor; Time, Chemistry, Photography and a special exhibition. Then into the four storey Transport section where there were cars, trains, planes, motorbikes and bicycles. This was all before we could look at smaller exhibits on the 3 floors above and below the main entry level. There was also one section set up for kids to build things and play. Whilst I was particularly impressed with both the Time & Chemistry sections and how each related to everyday life in the past and present, I think whoever thought up and designed the layout for the entire collection has done an amazing job. On a practical level there are lifts to most sections and a restaurant as well. Lucky too that the museum was open until 18:00. I would highly recommend a visit to this museum for those who like to know how things work and how technology has evolved.

My 2,5 year daughter was so impressed that we had to return the next day. She loved the gastronomy playground.

I went to view Mucha's Slav Epic (which was housed there at the time) and got elatedly blind-sided by the shear quantity and quality of this beautifully curated museum. A remarkable collection when I viewed it in 2013. Paintings contemporaneous with periods of art from Western Europe are every bit as compelling and well-crafted as the familiar favorites we westerners grew up with.
