Different. That could be one of the words describing this place. It takes you from Prague and from Europe to Australia, Oceania, Africa or America(mainly Northern one). It´s well placed in a centrum of Prague and easy to find. And it´s wheelchair accesible. Vojtěch Náprstek was famous philantropist and czech patriot who was very interested in society and cultural life, mainly of the Native Americans. But thanks to other friends(antropoligists, doctors, or simply adventurers) who travelled around the world and brought him many artefacts from their journeys, he garthered a big amount of artefacts and was able to open a museum. It wasn´t the museum as we know it today. It was smaller but during the decades and thanx to more and more artefacts coming in from different parts of the world the museum became one of the most significant centers of cultural education in Czech Republic in the 19th century. And what you will see there today? The museum exhibition is divided into three parts/floors. Two of these floors host a permanent exhibition — the first one is Culture of Native Americans and the second one Australia and Oceania. While the other floor host a different exhibitions which change every half an year(approximately). There is one about Egypt and Nubia(pharao´s times) these days. Museum is full of artefacts mainly tools, jewels, masks, textile etc. Generally speaking items of a daily life and also religion one(ritual masks, weapons etc.). Everything what somehow characterizes the cultures(people) which are the exhibitions about. Everything is well decribed in czech and english. Museum is usually not crowded so it´s quiet and you can enjoy the experience. So enjoy it and let them take you thousands of kilometers away for a few hours :-)
