Pros: parking for free, English speaking staff, cheap, wc available, small shop, 1 big hall with old cars and 1 smaller room with car-toys, interesting for kids especially for boys... Cons: a little bit cold inside, only a few vehicle brands, no English notes

Great shed of vintage and soon to be vintage vehicles to see and explore. To be fair it was a more diverse mix of vehicles than I expected with not just European cars but also many American cars. Bit pricey admission fee considering it is not that large. Also it is literally just an area for you to walk through with no special exhibits or anything.

An amazing place for car enthusiasts. In a side room you can explore models, toys and professional vehicle models. In the main hall, there are already concrete vehicles. For me, the coolest vehicle was the Citroen 2CV, the same vehicle used by the nun in "The Troops of St. Tropez". Tropez" (and the other parts of the gendarme) :-). If you find a moment, it's worth a visit here.

Really good visit, greeted by a lovely lady at reception. A fare price and a large collect of model and full size cars.

Interesting collection of mainly French vehicles, ranging from pre-war to early 90s. It was a hot day and being in what is essentially a warehouse building, was quite warm inside (too much for my better half). Would be good if there were English translations for the descriptions, but overall interesting and quirky, worth €10 entry if you're a car fan.

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.
