Prague Municipal Museum

(Local Name: Muzeum hlavního mesta Prahy) Housed in a Renaissance building, the Prague Municipal Museum (Muzeum hlavního mesta Prahy) covers the history of Prague from prehistoric times to the late 18th Century. The collection includes weapons, furniture, paintings, sculptures, and more. One of the most popular and interesting displays at the Prague Municipal Museum is a model of Prague from the 18th Century. The model was created in the 1830s by Antonín Langweil and includes some 2,000 buildings and is made of paper and wood. It took over a decade to complete. The museum also touches on the Nazi occupation of Prague with a number of original documents.
