Kangasala, Finland

Mobilia museum specializes in cars and road traffic. The exhibitions illustrate the history of the field in Finland, where long distances have always given both roads and vehicles particular importance.

A wide collection of photos and other objects is also on display in Mobilia.

At the moment the permanent exhibition includes 26 classic cars. There is also the Rally Hall of Fame, an exhibition that depicts international rally stars and rally cars.

Okay but lacks anything than 1920s kind of cars. Some rallycars but nothing .. super special.

Unique attraction for the car lovers. Has pedalling cars for children over 4 years old with real traffic signs for practice. The main thing is the old cars that are in mint condition ranging from t Ford to fastest rally car. You need to visit this place if your kid likes cars.

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.
