Charles Bridge Museum For Prague
The Czech capital's famous bridge gets its own museum in 2007
Already a prominent Prague landmark, Charles Bridge on the Vltava River will get a makeover and its own museum during 2007.
Scene of many a tourist snap in Prague, the historical Charles Bridge is looking forward to a big year. As if it's not enough that it'll get an extensive renovation (at a cost of 100 million koruna), the Charles Bridge Museum should open in June 2007.
The founder of the museum, Zdenek Bergmann, has worked for many years in Prague as a tour guide, and now plans to open the private museum at the Square of the Knights of the Red Cross, at the foot of the bridge. It will give information about the long history of the bridge - which celebrates its 650th anniversary this year.
