Why visit this place?

• The New Generation Museum opened on 1 August 2015, occupies the former brewery building and is run by the Kinský family.
• Its exhibits are on loan from major Czech institutions, including the National Museum and the National Technical Museum in Prague.
• The exhibition is interactive — it expects you to touch the exhibits and try them out.
• Allow roughly an hour and a half; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 39 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
