The purpose of modern museums is to collect, preserve, interpret, and display objects of artistic, cultural, or scientific significance for the study and education of the public. To city leaders, an active museum community can be seen as a gauge of the cultural or economic health of a city, and a way to increase the sophistication of its inhabitants. To museum professionals, a museum might be seen as a way to educate the public about the museum's mission, such as civil rights or environmentalism.

Small exhibition with some artifacts. There is some art and a little English information. It’s ok because it s free, hüt it’s nothing special. Especially when you’ve been at another „local“ museum of a city which lies north of Stockholm (they mostly have the same things in their exhibition). Everything I saw could have easily been displayed in a video.

The expositions in each floor are very disconnected. The first floor was about cows, the 2nd about the prehistory focused in the Norrbotten area but it was too technical to follow and 3rd one about art. Limited English material, mainly Swedish and Finnish.

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.
