What is interesting about the Museum of Prague's ghosts and legends?
If you primarily have an association with the popular attraction "Room of Fear" - then you are mistaken. Of course, the Museum of Ghosts and Legends in Prague is somewhat similar to it, but frightening the guests is not the main goal of this institution.
First of all, visitors to the museum get acquainted with the ancient traditions and myths of the ancient city, they can see firsthand what was observed by the locals, and what they then told their descendants, warning and cautioning.
The exhibition here is interactive. This means that it is possible to see a skeleton or a mirror with a riddle that suddenly fell out of the secret door.
Exposition of the museum
Museum exhibits are located on two floors: the first and the basement. Acquaintance with ghosts begins at the entrance, where visitors are met by the mysterious Spirit of Prague in a black robe. Basically, the entire upper level is reserved for a collection of books and newspaper clippings, in which one can read both mentions of certain mystical phenomena, and learn the causes and process of the appearance of ghosts.
An immediate acquaintance with the legends and legends of Prague takes place in the basement. Here the administration of the museum made every effort to recreate the ancient streets of Prague, on which now and then there are characters from ancient legends. The entourage complements the recording of disturbing music and mysterious sounds.
Among the inhabitants of the museum you can meet actress Laura, who, in a fit of jealousy, was killed by a husband, the ghost of an infant sacrificed to the devil by an architect desperate to erect a bridge, a fiery skeleton that stirs the minds of peaceful citizens every Friday night. And this is only a small fraction of the mythical characters who appear before tourists as part of the exhibition.

Nevertheless, mysticism and mystery, closely intertwined with the history, leave an exceptionally positive impression.
