National Technical Museum, Technology museum in Letná district, Prague, Czech Republic.
The National Technical Museum is a technology museum in Holešovice, Prague, Czech Republic, bringing together engineering objects across multiple floors covering transport, mining, printing and astronomy. The exhibition halls also contain machinery from metalworking, household development tools and aircraft alongside automobiles.
The institution opened its doors in 1908 and later moved into a functionalist building. Its collections preserve early aviation equipment and vehicles such as a Jawa car from the 1930s.
The Czech name reflects the institution's role in preserving regional technical achievements. The ground-floor transport collection illustrates the close relationship between vehicle engineering and 20th-century industrial development.
The museum offers guided tours through reconstructed spaces such as a television studio and organizes workshops on scientific topics. Visitors find orientation signs in the corridors and can operate or observe objects at several points.
A reconstructed 1950s tunnel system spans 350 square meters (approximately 3770 square feet) and demonstrates earlier ore and coal extraction methods. Visitors walk through narrow passages and see tools alongside transport carts from different mining eras.

Prague brings together structures and public spaces from the Middle Ages to modern times. The historic center holds the Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, the castle on the hill, and Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava River. Churches, monasteries, and palaces show Gothic arches, Baroque facades, and Art Nouveau decoration. Streets open onto quiet courtyards and busy passages, while riverside promenades invite walks along the water. Museums hold art from different centuries, technical collections, and memories of the 20th century. The Spanish Synagogue and other religious sites speak to the city's religious heritage. Theaters and concert halls continue a long cultural tradition. From the Petřín Lookout Tower, you see the rooftops and parks spread below, while gardens such as Wallenstein Garden offer green retreats. Each neighborhood has its own rhythm, and walking remains the best way to discover the layers of history and daily life.
