I was treated with extreme rudeness and disrespect from the woman at the entrance to the special exhibit. I politely asked how much a ticket would cost, if it was free, and where I could buy one. Apparently these simple questions offended her, and rather than answering me, she sarcastically insulted me and continued with degrading comments. I've never experienced anything like this at a museum anywhere in the world. I was expecting to enjoy a pleasant day visiting museums in Bratislava, and this really soured my impression. Despite buying a ticket later, I only visited the main hall and not the special exhibit, because I didn't want to interact with this angry, troubled person again. I wonder why a museum would employ someone so disrespectful and unwilling to answer questions from visitors.

Nice and interesting museum we could go up to the Tower it was beautiful. Then, at one point, there is an interaction game puzzle in one room. My daughter sat on the side cupboard with all the pieces, and I understand now that it was not allowed, even though it wasn't written anywhere. One lady with long blond hair came in the room shouting at us, We understood this was not allowed, but the manner was totally out of order. She also reprehend us because we left some pieces of the puzzle on the board (while trying which one would fit) and also got upset shouting because some pieces overlap each other in the board (?) . We were completely astonished by the manner and the rudeness of this lady, my child had ADHD started to cry as she was completely shocked and petrified.

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.
