The National Museum in Prague stands at the southern corner of Wenceslas Square. In the magnificent palace that houses the museum, and in other buildings near the main building, are stored more than 14 milion objects covering the area of history, archeology, music and natural history. The National Museum was founded in 1818 and has been collecting objects ever after. It dominates the upper Wenceslas Square, Vaclavske namesti in Czech, and has such an appearance of an important government building that even the Soviet soldiers who fired upon it in the 1968 invasion thought it was the seat of government. Even today if you look closely at the columns you will no doubt notice the shell marks. The prominent statement of nationalist design opened in 1893. The exterior of the building is covered with the names of the great men of the homeland, including some foreigners such as Johannes Kepler. Once inside the grand hall you will notice on the first floor the Lapidarium with statues portraying other important figures in the history of the Czech Republic. The statues include the father of the republic Tomas Masaryk. You will also find an exhaustive collection of minerals, rocks, and meteorites from the Slovak and Czech republic’s. Other floors exhibit the ancient history of the Czech lands with zoological and paleonlogical displays. Nearby you will find a gigantic model of a wooly mammoth which is mounted next to bones of a fossilized mammoth. The half-dozen or so rooms are filled with stuffed and mounted animals.
