Very nice and well maintained museum, of course the exhibition isn't enormous but definitely worth a visit. The light for photos inside was awesome ?

Great museum, went three times during my studies in Bordeaux. Each time I went, there were always new pieces. Never too crowded. Friendly helpful staff. Titles of pieces in French and English.

We visited the museum with CityPass. 1h30 is enough to walk around and the garden is nice to stay a bit longer in sunny days.

Nice small museum of fine arts. I visited the modern section and it was a lovely size, with a decent collection of modern art including photography, sculpture and paintings. The grounds are delightful so bring a sandwich if you have time and relax on your visit. Audio guide available for 2.5 euro

This museum has a lovely garden and a fantastic collection of fine arts. I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Although you can find a lot of the art on display online nothing beats seeing it in person.

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.
