DAY ONE: February 10th, 2008; The National Museum of Praha

Now this is a model! A wonderful model of the National Museum of Prague. It looks as if it was carved...not molded but carved with knives and sharp little instruments. Amazing detail...it just needs color.

Here is the beautiful National Museum of Prague. It sits at the end of Wenceslas Square and is beautiful at night.






Me...in front of the National Museum and the statue of "Good King Wenceslas".






A much better view of the statue of St Wenceslas and the National Museum.



The architecture on the museum is amazing! Plus the pieces molded out of gold add shiny bits of color.

The inside of the museum is just as beautiful as the outside of the building. Fresco's everywhere...marble staircases...ornate ceilings. Wish the collection of stuff in the museum was as interesting as the building itself...oh well.

Almost every ceiling was like this one...ornate and frescoed...but with different paintings.

This is a hand-made scooter from Uganda. Care to take a guess as to when it was made?? Go on...guess.

Ready for the answer? It was made in 1970! Got to love Communism.

Ellen took this picture...I love it. It looks like he is looking at his reflection.

"I like big butts and I can not lie..."

This song came to mind when I saw these little statuettes. I thought they were so funny.

The best exhibit in the museum was the one inside the giant foot. Most of it was not in English but was we were able to glean from it the exhibit was all about feet...activities done with the feet...from feet growing in the womb to astronauts landing on the moon...feet feet feet in all cultures, time periods doing all kinds of different things. Strange...but quite interesting.
