| 01 February 2010-06 July 2010: Be Free! | To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of communism, this 'Be Free' exhibition, which began in 2009, casts light on the atmosphere in Czechoslovakia from the 1950s-1989. It examines the dissemination of free information and propaganda, and presents diverse views on the events and spirit of the era. The exhibition takes places in the new building of the National Museum, located to the left of the original National Museum. | |

| 01 February 2010-06 July 2010: Story of Planet Earth | Around 4.5 billion years ago the Earth came into existence. Old, but still very much alive, it is constantly metamorphosing, bearing the only known life in the universe. What was its birth like? What does the planet look like inside? How did life happen to evolve in such immense diversity? Just a few of the many questions this exhibition at the National Museum helps answer. | |

| 05 February 2010-16 February 2010: Bohemian Carnevale | The Bohemian Carnevale dates back to medieval times, and celebrates human joy and gregariousness. As you wander around Prague, if you hear drums and other instruments, and see colourfully dressed people, then that is the Bohemian Carnevale. No point in listing the times though, as in our experience the Bohemian Carnevale is far too free spirited to keep to them! | |
