The Story of Prague Castle
The exhibition The Story of Prague Castle recalls the thousand-year history of the place where the history of Czech statehood was shaped through original objects from the Prague Castle collections, stories of people who worked there, and an interactive programme. The exhibition was opened in 2004 in the Gothic floor of the Old Royal Palace. It also includes a children's programme, which introduces the history of the castle grounds to the youngest visitors in an entertaining way.
The exhibition is divided into two main sections, the first of which introduces important representatives of the Czech state, major historical events and the construction development of the castle complex from prehistory to the 20th century. There are models of the Castle from various periods of its development and original objects from the Castle's collections, such as funeral dresses of Czech rulers or Renaissance glass.
The second line develops in the form of comprehensive stories inspiring themes across cultural history, connected directly with Prague Castle: the story of Czech patrons, the story of the church and the cathedral, the story of burials, the story of dining and many others. This part is also supplemented by original objects and a detailed textual interpretation.
Visitors can also watch the film The Transformations of Prague Castle, which gives a glimpse into the hidden corners of the thousand-year-old seat of the rulers.
