Prague has a lot to offer anyone who decides to visit it. Many of the hotels in Prague have information of different museums that tourists can visit during the duration of their stay in the splendid European city. The Prague City Museum covers the entire history of Prague, dating back from pre-historical times to the year 1784 (the year when the independent towns of Prague came together and united). The museum is very well organized and a permanent exhibit to these artefacts. Visitors get a look of Prague’s early populace, including what the people looked like, where and how they lived, what they considered “vogue” (in other words their fashion styles), and what eating habits they had back then. It begins at the Stone Age and works its way up the time and eventually reaches the buildings that created the Prague Castle and Vysehrad that overlooked the Vltava river valley and the forests surrounding it. However, the most well-known piece in the museum is a model made entirely out of cardboard by Antonin Langweil and it depicts the city of Prague 150 years prior. Bertramka Villa is where Mozart spent most of his time back in October 1787, the year he went to Prague to conduct the opera he created, Don Giovanni. Today, this villa is an exhibition dedicated just to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and those who were his hosts (Frantisek Xavier Dusek and his wife, Josefina Duskova). This exhibit is seven rooms that provide information on brief but important moments of the history of the building. The rooms have been restored to reflect Mozart’s era and his stay and it contains trinkets like musical instruments, letters, engravings, and other documents. Throughout the years, Bertramka villa also hosts concerts inside the building. For something out of the ordinary, visit the Ghost Museum. Its main purpose is to bring the dark beauty of this European city to the surface for all to see. The museum’s first piece is a gigantic book filled with all sorts of rumours; the pages of the book (illustrations included) are all around the space. These pages are on display for visitors to read as they wish. Underground, there is a maze of Old town streets where the ghost part of the exhibit lies. The creators and authors of this exhibition didn’t want the museum to just be a spooky ride, so nothing is hiding behind the corners waiting to jump out at you. It’s a good place to visit that is out of the ordinary.
