About

The National Technical Museum in Prague is a paradise for anyone interested in science, technology, and industrial history, offering more than 25 permanent exhibitions across a striking functionalist building from the 1930s. Among its highlights is the vast Transportation Hall, filled with historic cars, motorcycles, trains, and airplanes, including a Mercedes Benz W154 Grand Prix car from 1938. The museum also features immersive exhibitions on mining, with a realistic ore and coal mine, and showcases the evolution of architecture, construction, and design in the Czech Republic from the 19th century onward. Other standout displays include the Astronomy exhibition, with over 200 instruments ranging from the 15th to the 21st century, and a collection of rare printing presses tracing the history of printing from Gutenberg to the digital age. Visitors can explore the development of photography, television, metallurgy, chemistry, and household appliances, as well as a playroom dedicated to the classic Merkur construction set. The museum regularly hosts temporary exhibitions on topics like Czech innovations, industrial design, and musical instruments. With interactive elements, hands-on workshops, and a café and shop, the National Technical Museum offers an engaging and comprehensive look at centuries of technical ingenuity
