Prague’s Military Museum to open after major reconstruction

After several years of reconstruction, the Army Museum at the Military History Institute in Prague will be officially opened on Thursday. The renovation of the building, which is located at the foot of the city’s Vítkov hill in the Žižkov district, amounted to over CZK 900 million.

The renovation works included building a new entrance and enlarging the exhibition space. Access to the museum will now also be possible from the cycling path at the rear of the building.

Thursday’s opening ceremony will be attended by President Miloš Zeman. The museum will open to the public on October 28, which is a national holiday marking the birth of Czechoslovakia.
