Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
The medieval and renaissance galleries display lots of fascinating household
artefacts, including a reliquary made of carved bone, plus more valuable items
such as a 16th-century bronze figure of Hercules which was perhaps created for
the Wallenstein Palace (it was found in a private house in the Old Town in 1905).
But what everybody comes to see is Antonín Langweil's astonishing
1:480
scale model of Prague
as it looked between 1826 and 1834. The display is
most rewarding after you get to know Prague a bit, as you can spot the changes
- look at St Vitus Cathedral, for example, still only half-finished. Labels are in
English as well as Czech.
