Lovely museum,. In particular, the English guided tour was very interesting. They have a very nice collection of Viking treasures, from a nearby ancient settlement. They also have a good collection of medieval church art.

Full of history, good place to pass the time. Disappointed when purchasing the tickets staff didn't tell us that 2 of the museum's are closed for renovations. I understand reservations happen but why are the tickets still the same price. At the end of the day everything else was good.

The museum is small but there is real work on the exhibitions, especially on the ground floor with the history of Lund University. Upstairs, the collection of wooden religious art is impressive. You will be warmly welcome at the entrance. I look forward to seeing the next exhibition!

When we visited the museum it was free to enter where we were greeted by super friendly staff at the entrance. It's really cool that you can experience so many different time periods in the same place - and at the same time also have the opportunity to get to know the Swedish, Scanian and Scandinavian culture better.

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.
