.a night at the museum

.i was proud to be a part of this year's Prague Museum Night (during this one night many museums are opened for free). As I've also witnessed some of the previous years, the choice of something new and interesting to see was quite narrow. But anyway, I chose some exhibitions on Prague Castle I've not seen before (because of astronomical entry fees...).
First one was situated inside Lobkowitz palace and consisted of portraits of probably every king and queen ever ruling the Czech nation ;). Small part was also left for medieval arms and musical instruments. The bad thing is that I was warned that it is prohibited to take pictures inside. Thus enjoy this pre-prohibition one ;)...
As a next stop, the big and long presentation of castle's history was chosen. At first I was thinking about leaving the place (because of a huge queue). But the crowd was moving quite fast and the entrance into the oldest parts of the castle was reached relatively quickly. The exhibition guided us through many centuries of the history. From the prehistoric times and the first settlement in the area to the latest events of the 20th century. The museum is modern, combining historical exhibits with the projections of contemporary paintings, photos. All this is accompanied by the ancient music and some sounds recreating the mood of the times. The whole exhibition is interesting but a bit too long (2 hours) to keep focused :).
To end the adventurous evening I've met some friends in the nearby pub for a beer. That's all folks ;)!
