Prehistoric era in the National Museum

The National Museum opens a new exhibition called The Hunters of Mammoths. The new exposition presents not only a family of mammoths but also shows the life of people in prehistoric times.

This exhibition offers next to the real archaeological discoveries (the most valuable item of the exhibition is The Venus of Dolni Vestonice) also mammoth’s roars, the crackling of fire, the stamp of hoofs or the distinct smell of animal skin. The authors of this exhibition tried to illustrate the era by all senses.

It took almost two years to prepare the exposition. The authors went even to Africa to film prehistoric countryside without any trace of civilization. Now they hope that more than half a million of visitors would see their display.

The exposition is open every day (except every first Tuesday of the month) from 9:00 till 17:00 until the end of April 2007. For technical reasons the museum is open today only till 15:00, on 25th October till 13:00, on 26th October till 15:00 and on 28th October only in the afternoon from 14:00 to 17:00. Updated: the exhibition is prolonged until 2nd September 2007.
