National Technical Museum, Prague - by Paul Said on Google





Description
Prague's National Technical Museum houses collections spanning several domains of sciences and industry. It is housed in a large building designed in Functionalist style by Milan Babuška in the early 1940s. The largest collection is that relating to transportation, which narrates the developments of automobiles, motorcycle, bicycles, air, sea and rail transport. Other major exhibitions include printing, chemistry, chronometry (time measurement, including watchmaking), mining with equipment and machinery on display, metallurgy and its impact on civilization, and astronomy.
Access & Transport
The museum is next to Letna Park, across the Štefánikův bridge from the Jewish Quarter / Old Town. The Nábřeží Kapitána Jaroše and Kamenická tram stations are less than 5mins walk away. There are parking spaces on site.
Instructions & Recommendations
This activity is best combined with a walk through Letna Park from where one can enjoy nice views over Prague. The National Museum of Agriculture is also located there.
