Prague Museum

Next to Prague’s main coach station, a purpose-built neo-Renaissance mansion houses the Prague Museum. Inside, there’s an ad hoc collection of the city’s art, a number of antique bicycles, and usually an intriguing temporary exhibition on some aspect of the city. The museum’s prize possession, though, is Antonín Langweil’s paper model of Prague which he completed in the 1830s. It’s a fascinating insight into early nineteenth-century Prague – predominantly Baroque, with the cathedral incomplete and the Jewish quarter “unsanitized” – and, consequently, has served as one of the most useful records for the city’s restorers. The most surprising thing, of course, is that so little has changed.
