A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PRAGUE

The Fallout Shelter and the Technical Museum

The Museum of Twentieth Century Objects is housed in the former fallout shelter in Sokolov. The building itself is fascinating, most of the shelter’s equipment still works and visitors have a chance to look over the measures intended to protect the population from nuclear attack. Many interesting things are on display, from treadle sewing machines to radios and projectors. A rarity is the small BMW 700 from 1959 with a two-stroke motorcycle engine. Not only can you look at the objects, you can also try them out, for example, take a ride on the hundred year old bicycles, sit down in a car, on a bike or in a carriage.

Open: all year Tue-Sun 11:00 to 17:00.
