Travel Tip: world´s largest exhibition of mummies hosted by Prague!
Dear Steemit friends and followers,
Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.
Today, I have something special for you as I will take you to the largest and most complex exhibition of mummies in the world, a renowned exhibition known as Mummies of the World.

Held at the Prague Exhibition Grounds in Prague-Holesovice, Mummies of the World is a unique exhibition of mummies and many other interesting artifacts that were loaned from a number of museums, private collections, scientific organizations and universities all over the world.
The exhibition provides a unique insight into the ancient world, showing the visitors how people lived in different countries and eras. Not surprisingly, however, the event particularly focuses on funerals and burial rituals from around the world so it might not be the best place to take young children.

The exhibition started in February and it will last until June so you still have some time to arrange your trip to Prague not to miss out on it. Mummies of the World is open daily from 9 AM to 8 PM and the tour usually takes about 1.5 hour. The basic entrance fee is 320 CZK (13 EUR/15 USD) per person, the reduced fee (for students, retired people etc.) is 200 CZK (9 EUR/10 USD).
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

that's cool once thomas. a very interesting exhibit to follow. I'm very sure a lot will go there and see the event. not because of its high historical value but also science. this is good news for history lovers especially archeology .. if in my place, often do the exhibition as well as in your place. surely it is very fun for me especially. but unfortunately, the interest of our community is still less interested in these things and really in pity
Czech Republic is becoming a country of beauty to me after i started following you......your posts are very informative and attractive which make us want to travel to czech republic....the exhibition of mummies and old artifacts is the display of history,anyone would want to see that and experience history themself. It might not be good place for kids but it is alluring for us..... thank u. Like this post.
Thank you for your kind words! Great to hear that! Tomas

That's something different to know. I never heard about that.
Last one is bit scary. Even adults with weak hearts shouldn't go there ;)
Though I'm not gonna visit there (practically speaking), I'll search about it for sure, if I could find all images on google. :)
Thanks for your shared...
