Museums

The National Technical Museum  in Prague is the largest institution dedicated to preserving information and artefacts related to the history of technology in the Czech Republic. The museum also manages substantial archives consisting of approximately 3,500 linear shelf meters of archival material and about 250,000 books. The museum was founded in 1908 and has been in its current location since 1941.

 

The Aviation pioneer Jan Kašpar donated the aircraft, with which he had flown his first flight  in 1911, where it is still on display among many other historic  aircrafts. The exebitin also has a number of old cars, including Mercedes-Benz W154 (1939), Rudolf Caracciola's car and the Tatra 80 (1935).

 

We also visited the Natural History Museum, looking at rock samples.
