literally nothing interesting, it's definitely not worth paying 30 kroner for it. maximum 10 minutes of sightseeing

When we visited the museum, we had an unpleasant surprise. There was no light! Due to the presence of only an automatic ticket counter (connected to electricity), I witnessed someone buying tickets for 90 DKK thinking that this would turn on the light. Well no.

Fascinating museum. Quite normal at the beginning but when you enter the tour through one family history it turns out to be perfect. Amazing place

It's a small museum but it provides plenty of information about early Århus. The cost is low but you learn a lot. I don't think it would be interesting to very small children as there is much to read and little interactive parts.

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.
