“Back in Time” Opens at Máj: Experience 1,200 Years of Prague’s Past!

A new interactive experience is set to transport visitors through 1,200 years of Prague’s history.

The Back in Time museum, opening at the Máj shopping center, offers a 50-minute journey through key historical moments using state-of-the-art technology and physical installations.

A Journey Through Time

Back in Time presents pivotal events, myths, and figures from Prague’s history that have also shaped the Czech Republic’s national identity.

Visitors are guided by two fictional siblings, B (short for “Back,” played by actor Jakub Jenčík) and T (“Time,” played by actress Barbora Váchová).

The duo, children of a professor who invents a time machine, accidentally activate it, launching themselves and visitors into the 9th century, where they witness the legend of Libuše and the founding of Prague.

The adventure continues through the court of Charles IV, brought to life with advanced projection technology and period-accurate dialogues.

Visitors will discover the secrets behind the creation of the Astronomical Clock, encounter the legendary Golem, experience wartime Prague, and witness the battles for Czech Radio in 1945 and 1968.

The journey concludes in the Hall of Fame, where animated effects and mirrored displays celebrate notable Czech figures, including T. G. Masaryk, Václav Havel, Antonín Dvořák, Emil Zátopek, and Karel Gott.

Cutting-Edge Technology for an Unforgettable Experience

The audiovisual presentation is designed to engage all senses. The museum features holographic projections, 10-channel sound, and even scent simulations linked to specific time periods.

A 5D cinema with 180-degree projection and motion seats enhances the realism, making history come alive.
