A must visit place! Toulouse Lautrec’ ancestral chateau. There were only three of us but Lady gave us a very interesting tour of the whole chateau. Huge amount of interesting exhibits related to the artist and his children’ drawings on the wall, as well as original furniture etc. JUST WOW!

If you’re a fun of Impressionism you’d be glad to visit the Castel where Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec spent his childhood. You can take a guided tour and check the interior and things right from the past.

Very interesting but much better if you speak French. The printed guide, in English, only tells you what is in each room and not the history.

Visite intéressante mais trop peu de temps pour regarder les œuvres du peintre. Ce que nous avons vu était intéressant mais nous espérions voir un peu plus que 5 pièces du château.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
