If there is a Czech composer that is known by foreigners, it's probably Dvorák. The ground floor displays cover the composers life with memorabilia, photographs, some of the authors gowns. Upstairs is a fresco decorated recital hall.

The Baroque styled building was built by the famed Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer whose buildings can be found all over Prague and although restored now to its former glory was, unbelievably, once during the 19th century a cattle market.

Smetana is probably the most popular Czech composer in the Czech Republic, as he became a symbol of Czech culture, but he is not so well known outside the Czech Republic.

This place has never been the home of Mozart, but he composed parts of some of his most famous works in the villa. Mozart was often more popular in Prague than at his home, but a century passed after his death before the villa was turned into a memorial for him. Besides being a museum concerts are also often held at the villa.

Here you will find many treasures from the Czech Republic, which will give you great insight into the history of the country.

This museum is quite expensive to visit by Czech standards, but it is worth the price and the tickets do actually give you admission to three museums. Hitler planned to make a museum in Prague that should be "a museum of an extinct race". Therefore some of the oldest religious objects in Europe ended up in Prague, and are now a part of the collection. The first place to visit is the Old Jewish Cemetery. In this cementery lie 12.000 graves from the 15th. century to the 19th. because Jewish tradition forbids the cancelation of a grave. In connection with the cemetery you will find the Ceremonial, where you will find a collection of art created by Jews and Jewish children who was interned at the Terezin concentration camp during World War II. This is a very strong experience as you know that the artists never became adults, and they themselves knew that theirs lives were short. The ticket also includes the Klausen Synagogue, where you can see an exhibition of Jewish customs and traditions. For a separate ticket you can see the Old New Synagogue, which dates back to 1280 and was one of the oldest serving synagogues in Europe.

This museum has a pedagogical collection which is dedicated to the very famous philospher Comenius (1592 - 1670). His ideas about teaching and pedagogical methods were far ahead of his time. His portrait can be seen on the Czech 200 crown note.

This museum was founded in 1885, and contains fine examples of decoration art. Unfortunately most of the objects are not accessible and there is only one floor open to the public.

This museum is located in the Schwarzenberg Palace and is devoted to the development of weaponry. If you are not interest in weaponry you can spend the time enjoying the frescoes inside and the painted facade outside of this Renaissance building.

If you are interested in World War II, this might be a museum for you, as it is devoted to the resistance movement in Czechoslovakia.

This Muzeum shows the history of Prague from its founding in the 9th century up to the Gothic, Renaissance, and Romanesque periods. It don't tell so much about the ordinary people as it focuses on glass, porcelain and furnishing art. At the top floor do you find a paper model of the city centre.

This museums shows how the Indians lived in North America, South America, Australia and Oceania.

The largest museum in Prague and perhaps the biggest disappointment too. The museum, built in Neo-renaissance style is situated at the end of Vaclavske námestí. The museum is worth a visit only because of the fantastic building itself. You have to be extraordinarily interested in fossils and minerals to find a visit here interesting.

If you are interested in technic and transportation, this is the museum to visit. Very few tourists find the way out to it, so if you get tried of the crowds at some of the more popular museums it may be time to visit this museum.

If you are a steam engine fan this may be the place for you, as it shows the history of the use of steam engines for navigation in Prague. Podskali itself served as the centre for steam engine navigation and many sailors and raftsmen lived there.
