Culture: when and where (for free :))

Hey everyone,

After being all Bloody Sexy (have you seen the monkey? Bloody sexy? Careful :D ), you can also go bloody cultural. “Ah”, you say, “it’s bloody expensive, to enter it costs like three beers (it’s a common currency around here, the beer)”. Not necessarily, fortunately you can see pretty much everything for free, if either keep your eyes open, speak Czech, read this, or know me :D

Erasmus team presenting: Where and when to go for free, an updated version.

Muzeum hlavního města Prahy (Museum of Prague -  The main building, located at Na Poříčí 52, 180 00 Praha 8, offers to his visitors every Thursday entrance for 10 Kč. If you’re a student,  the price goes down to 0 (zero) :D This building offers, amongs other things, a unique exhibition of Langweils model of Prague. And this, my friends, its fucking insane. It’s what I call having too much time on your hands. Seriously though, read it, amazing.

Národní zemědělské muzeum (The National Museum of Agriculture), has its doors open every first Wednesday of the month  from 13.00 to 17.00 completely for free in all branches. I’ve always wanted to see the statue of Mr Cucumber…

Armádní muzeum Žižkov (The Army Museum Žižkov) has a great policy: it’s free the whole year! You can take a picture in front of a tank without taking the risk of having the cannon up your nose. If you’re more into planes, then you go to the Letecké muzeum Kbely (The Aviation Museum Kbely), also for free, all the time.

A personal favorite is the Muzeum Pražského Jezulátka (Muzeum of Prague’s Infant Jesus), which not only confirms that Jesus exists, it also confirms that there was even a Czech one. Since Czech is an atheist country, my guess is that he failed here. For free every year, and of course you can donate, so Ratzinger doesn’t have to find a part time job.

Lobkowiczký palác (I swear there’s a beer with this name) its for free every first Wednesday of the month, although I couldnt confirm this info. Sorry for that.

Plynárenské muzeum, some sort of gas Museum in Prague, is also open for free the hole year. Do not smoke, light fire, or fart inside the facility.

Leica Gallery always offers very interesting photographic exhibitions, for the single price of a coffee at their coffee shop. Meaning that you can order a coffee and see the exhibition.

Národní památník na Vítkově, although it doesn’t offer a free entry, has an open coffee shop where you can go for free, and the place is simply amazing, worth a visit.

Unfortunately, a lot of Museums cancelled their free entry at the first whatever day of the month policy. Money talks.

Still try to get the ArtMap (or check the website), there are always interesting propositions for exhibitions, usually for free on the first day, sometimes een with free wine (win win :) ).

I will try to confirm some more places.

Peace, and drink a huge tea with extra sugar. It helps with hangovers.

 

Peace, P.
