Liechtenstein Palace Reopens its Doors to the Public

The Liechtenstein Palace in Prague opened its doors to the public on Saturday, June 5, after a break of several months, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The first guided tour in Liechtenstein Palace will take place at 9 am and the last at 4 pm on Saturday. Respirators are compulsory. The Liechtenstein Palace was built on the grounds of five city houses in 1591 and rebuilt in Classical style in the 18th century. The princely family of Lichtensteins gradually lost interest in the Palace and sold it to the Earl of Ledebour. Later on, the Palace housed many different institutions, until finally in the 1980’s it was acquired by the Academy of Musical Arts. It’s generally used for representative purposes by The Office of the Government of the Czech Republic. On the second floor, there are apartments, which stayed, for example, Spanish king Juan Carlos with his wife Sofie, British queen Elisabeth II, Japanese emperor Akihito with Empress Michiko. The halls and salons in the basement are used for working meetings and friendly gatherings. Between 1979 and 1991 the palace was renovated according to the project of architect B. Fuchse jr. and adapted to serve the purposes of the Government...

Kafka Letters, Drawings Made Publicly Available Online

An unpublished collection of letters, manuscripts and drawings by Franz Kafka are now available online via the Israel National Library, which recovered the documents after years of legal wrangling. Some 120 drawings and more than 200 letters to his friend Max Brod are among the archives now available for public viewing, the project’s curator Stefan Litte told AFP. The documents exist thanks to Brod’s decision to break a pact with his friend Kafka, the acclaimed Czech Jewish author of “The Trial” and “The Metamorphosis”, who as he suffered from tuberculosis asked his writings be destroyed. But after the author died in 1924, Brod decided to keep the papers and in 1939 fled Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia for Tel Aviv with them in tow. The Prague-born Brod, also Jewish, published many of the works, playing a pivotal role in establishing Kafka as one of the 20th century’s key literary figures. Following Brod’s death in 1968, a multi-country legal soap opera — some might even call it “Kafkaesque” — entangled rights holders and academics for years. After years of court proceedings and searches, the fifth and final cache was located in a vault at the Zurich headquarters of UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, and released...

“King of the Sun” Exhibition at National Museum Extended

The “Kings of the Sun” exhibition, part of an international project documenting the greatest archaeological discoveries of Czech Egyptologists, will remain at the National Museum through September. This exceptional exhibition, which has suffered repeated upsets to its schedule from the corona-virus pandemic, has had its end date pushed back by the organizers, thanks to the generosity of the lenders. Do take the opportunity to visit, once the government anti-pandemic restrictions loosen and museums become accessible again. Kings of the Sun The uniqueness of this exhibition, indicated by its insurance cover of CZK 1 billion, is underlined by the fact that never before have so many major artifacts been loaned abroad from Egypt as for the Kings of the Sun exhibition. The exhibition is unparalleled not only because of the previously unseen rare artifacts, never before exhibited in the world but also for its modern concept and design. The utilization of multimedia technologies and impressive architecture will allow visitors to experience the distinctive atmosphere of Royal Abusir. There are priceless exhibits here, from many of the world’s museums – be they the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, or from museums in Berlin, Leipzig, Hanover, Heidelberg, Hildesheim...

Lucerna Palace Rooftop Deck Reopens to the Public

The iconic Prague building has officially reopened its rooftop to the public. The rooftop will be accessible for three days – May 27, 28, and 29, then the organizers will draw up a regular schedule for the summer months. Lucerna Palace is a legendary place that made the history of the country and in some way changed the character of the whole city. It was inaugurated in 1909. The then builder and developer Václav Havel, the grandfather of the well-known president Václav Havel, raised the city to a metropolis with the building. Lucerna brought the inhabitants of the city interesting opportunities for the time. It was the opening of a cabaret, a Japanese tea room, a cinema or a large social hall for concerts. Legends of the world music performed in the grand hall. The Beach Boys, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, and many, many others. The Great Hall in Lucerna is a prestigious and renowned venue for concerts for both Czech and foreign performers. We highly recommend going there at sunset: watching the sun hide behind the Prague Castle while bathing the Old Town in golden rays gives a whole new meaning to the expression ‘Golden Prague’! Opening hours are from 16:00...

Is Czech Grammar Tough for you? We May Have a Solution

“Czech is hard. You need to study grammar. You need to know the endings by heart.” Have you heard this? How many times? So many times that now it is anchored in your brain? Well, we have good news for you. You can anchor the language in your brain in a bit of a different way. “Why are we still studying languages focusing on grammar when 95% of people hate grammar? I know why. Because that 5% of grammar lovers will decide to study it and… become language teachers,” says Stephen Krashen. Stephen Krashen is a linguistics expert who, for the past 40 years, has been trying to show teachers that grammar explanations and exercises don’t work. Unfortunately, because this is the way we studied at school when we were young, today we believe we need grammar and rules. We don’t. We don’t learn the language. We acquire it. How do we learn to ride a bike? Children: Practice. Adults: Practice. How do we learn about history? Children: Read. Adults: Read. How do we learn a language? Children: Listen. Adults: Ehm,… study grammar?   Why do we believe that learning languages has to be hard and a struggle? Sure, you...

What a View! Rudolfinum’s Roof Will be Open to the Public

The Rudolfinum – home of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra since 1946 – will undergo a renovation. This week, the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra presented a project to modify the Rudolfinum’s terrace. The project will be a collaboration with developer Arcona Capital. “From our point of view, it’s a simple matter. The project is very exciting, but we approach it with great responsibility. The aim is to open the terrace to the general public, and allow open-air concerts,” says Guy Barker, Director of Arcona Capital. Additionally, part of the reconstruction’s aim is to even out surfaces, repair parts such as railings, and get electricity, lighting, and water running. Moreover, an elevator will be built. The company started working on the project 18 months ago. It already holds a building permit from the National Heritage Institute, the Department of Heritage Care, and the Building Office of Prague 1. The costs of CZK 23 million are covered by Arcona Capital, which wants to raise the money in a fundraising campaign that it will announce this year. The date for the start of the construction is still unknown. All that is certain is that once the work has been done, it will be done within three...

6 TV Series to Watch in Czech

It should come as no surprise that having fun when learning a language is much more successful than using textbooks. Even though watching TV shows can feel like (or lead to) procrastination, it’s a great way to quickly expand your vocabulary and become familiar with idioms and popular phrases. It’s also the perfect listening practice if you’re not able to put yourself out there and communicate with native speakers. You may also pause and rewind a Czech TV show at any time, as well as write down new words. There are plenty of famous shows you can watch dubbed on Netflix, but in this post, we’ll look at six entertaining Czech TV shows with English subtitles that are available on YouTube and Czech satellite television (HBOgo). 1.Ulice (The Street) Channel: TV Nova Subject: This show is about people who live in the Prague suburbs, their everyday lives, issues, relationships, and affairs. It is slow-paced and not very thrilling. It can become very interesting, humorous, well-written, and addictive once you find your favorite characters. Phrases and vocabulary: The use of common, colloquial Czech language with no strong dialect is the show’s greatest advantage. It’s all about “true people” and “everyday life,”...

Illusion Art Museum Prague

Illusion Art Museum Prague — Immersive and Interactive

By Suzanne Scarlett Bessisso—Anglo American University The Illusion Art Museum offers a unique perspective on art by combining modern technology with history. It encourages its visitors to become part of the exhibit by using their smartphones to bring to life the movement of the art as illusions. With its smartphone requirement, this museum gives its visitors a peek at what the future of museums could be. It’s one of the few museums that have adopted this modern and immersive approach to art-making it a fun exhibition especially for kids. The museum takes a new approach to anamorphic viewing. Several of the works on display appear distorted until the viewer stands at a specific vantage point, or uses their smartphone to see what is hidden in the distortion. The most popular is a portrait of Nikola Tesla, created by Patrik Proško, that is made up of Tesla’s inventions, but is only visible when looking at it through a lens positioned at the perfect spot. Other works include trick art, wherefrom a certain perspective a 2D painting can look 3D and the visitors become a part of it. There are several of these related to Czech history, such as the defenestrations that...
