Kepler Museum, Astronomy museum in Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The Kepler Museum was a science museum in the Old Town that focused on astronomer Johannes Kepler's work and groundbreaking discoveries. It displayed interactive exhibits about planetary motion and presented the scientific contributions Kepler made during his time in Prague.
The museum opened in 2009 during the International Year of Astronomy with support from local scientific organizations. The collection moved to the National Technical Museum in 2019, where the exhibits are now displayed.
The museum is named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, who lived and worked in Prague during his career. Visitors can trace the connection between this city and one of history's major scientific thinkers.
The museum no longer operates at its original location, so visitors should go to the National Technical Museum to see the collection. It is helpful to check opening hours and the current location beforehand to save time.
Entrance tickets displayed the astronomical dial from Prague's famous clock, showing the exact visit time in multiple formats. This detail cleverly connected the museum to one of Prague's most recognizable landmarks.
