Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures — Attraction in Prague

The museum was spread across three floors. The first floor dedicated to honouring Czech women in the days before universal suffrage and female emancipation. The second floor was focused on Egyptology and had fine exhibits including a large collection of mummified animals, although the star of this second was probably the two coffins, one of which mummified remains of a man. There was a lot of English for these two exhibitions.

The third floor was on native Australasian artefacts with stunningly good exhibits on some with separate display cases for different pacific islands, although there was little English. Sadly a bit far from the main tourist circuit and it was very quiet on the day I visited.

This level was incredibly extensive and Impressive (I just wish there had of also been English translations for the...

Serious negligence of the old woman who controls the entrance of the NAPRSTEK museum. Despite the fact that the visit was included with the cool pass, the lady refused us entry.

He also denied us an official document to make a claim even though we told him in Czech. It is a shame that you cannot enter to visit something that you have...
