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 basis of the short-term exhibition is a traveling exhibition from the Slovak Technical Museum, which tells the story of Enigma and the history of cryptology. The NTM has supplemented this with the history of projects where the political situation led to secrecy.
The National Technical Museum’s new exhibition marks the 130th anniversary of the founding of Škoda Auto and pays tribute to its founder, Václav Klement.
The exhibition presents, in an original way, the story of modern rail transport as one of the key engines of global transformation. Through authentic exhibits, interactive elements, and artworks, visitors can explore its origins, technical innovations, and its impact on everyday life in society.
The exhibition celebrates the 70th anniversary of the achievement that made Czechoslovakia only the eighth country in the world capable of producing mechanical wristwatches on an industrial scale.
