Prague - Randomness

Yet again some assorted pictures of things I saw in Prague



A monument for someone who burned himself to death as a protest during the Prague Spring









These long, long stairs led to the Prague Castle.

Lots of houses were still in the process of being restored.

Prague - A Visit to a Museum

While we were in Prague we visited an museum of anthropology.

They had a really cool totempole at the entrance with animals on it.

There was a special mummy exhibit.
These are fish mummies.

These small statues were placed in a grave with a mummy as people thought they'd act as servants and do all the work for the mummy in the afterlife.

Part of a deathmask I think.

Ok, this has got nothing to do with mummies, but I really liked this sign.

A small statue.

And a real human mummy!

A statue of Anubis

Next to the special mummy exhibit there were lots of other exhibits of which me and my owner liked the Native North American exhibit the most. They had really cool maquettes there.

And this clothing display that's a bit spooky.

They even had a McPig sized cabin!
I thought my owner should get me one of these, but she didn't think so though.

Well, that's all the pictures we took in the museum as the guards kept asking us to show our photography permit, which we had, but they didn't seem to share the news, as each new guard kept interrupting us to ask again, so in the end we got tired of it and stopped taking pictures.

Prague - Randomness

Today some random beautiful pictures of things I saw in Prague.

Prague - Fun Stuff

After two graveyard posts it's time for some fun stuff.

This Kingfisher was on the building next to our hotel.



This duck was on a building that housed a restaurant called 'The Blue Duck'. According to my travelbook it used to be called 'the Little, Old Duck'.

A frog!
This is now a mexican restaurant, but for ages this was a restaurant by the name 'At the Green Frog'. It is said that the hangmen and executioners used to come here for a beer and food.

I also found this museum of medieval torture instruments. I wonder if that man is an executioner.

A beautiful sun.

I dare bet this is where the executioners are getting their beer and food now that they can't go to the Frog restaurant anymore!

I also spotted this creepy door that had all these heads on it.

And a statue that was hanging on a flagpole.

A smiley face.

This critter was in a park and was placed there as part of an ad-campaign for bug spray.

The facts of life ;-)

A poster for the Museum of Communism.

Saint George.

I saw this cool chair in a café where we had something to drink.

I even spotted a hippo for my owner!

And last, but not least:

At one of the restaurants where we had dinner I met another animal who was dining there as well. Dino and I had a nice chat about Prague before we both had to go our separate ways again.
