Mucha Museum – Alfons Mucha Anybody that knows me will be aware of my interests in art and architecture. On the “art” side I’ve written about Alfons Mucha as a person, his impact on the Municipal House, a 5-post breakdown of his most famous work, the Slav Epic. I’ve seen the entire Slav Epic exhibited … Read More
The Playground Once upon a time there was a Hamleys toy shop in Prague which had an arcade section called “The Playground”. Fast-forward to 2024 and Hamleys has gone and the whole venue now comes under the collective name called The Playground.

Museum of Communism 20 years ago I visited the old location of the Museum of Communism and found it quite uninspiring.

Later the New Town would be defined as the area on the opposite side of that moat. The fortified wall stands there … Read More
Quadrio Shopping Centre I looked through my old photos of Prague to see if there were any from this area before the Quadrio Shopping Centre was built but I didn’t have anything. Not surprising really as apart from the old fruit and veg market during the day and the drug dealers around the entry to … Read More
Boat Hotel Matylda and Klotylda I think that I can just remember when Matylda was the only part but they expanded by adding the Klotylda so now the Klotylda is primarily for accommodation with a total of 18 rooms.
