Prague Museums
Many Prague museums explore the city's eventful history: the changing role of Prague Castle in the Bohemian Kingdom, the Celtic tribes that once inhabited the region, the Jewish Ghetto, and the infamous Nazi and Communist eras. But, there are also museums dedicated to natural history, science, music and iconic works of art.
