The National Technical Museum has newly acquired 15 valuable Praga vehicles from the private collection of Emil Příhoda. A selection of eight of them is now on display in the exhibition located in the Transport Hall.
These exceptional machines, considered the longest mass-produced motorcycles in the world, were built from 1925 in the Šluknov region under the direction of designer Albin Liebisch. The exhibition offers the first comprehensive overview of all the types produced – visitors will see thirty Čechie–Böhmerland motorcycles, including unique replicas of prototypes that have not survived.
The exhibition, located within the "Medieval Construction Machines" display, is the result of many years of work by experts and students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Czech Technical University (CTU). From a large collection of models of medieval buildings, those constructions initiated by Charles IV were selected.

The exhibition was created on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Research Institute of Geodesy, Topography, and Cartography (VÚGTK), a public research institution. Through texts, visual materials, and displays of instruments and tools from the development workshops of VÚGTK, it presents the history and current work of this public research institution, whose societal contributions are extraordinary.
