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.

Visitors can admire both touring and utility models manufactured between 1921 and 1946, including luxury cars such as the Praga Grand, Mignon, and Golden, the iconic small car Praga Super Piccolo, the utility vehicle Praga AN, and the Praga AN bus. The ninth exhibited automobile is a borrowed Praga Alfa, the first Praga owned by Emil Příhoda. The exhibition is complemented by two prestigious automotive awards from the First Republic era. This exhibition pays tribute to the Praga brand, which stood at the pinnacle of the Czechoslovak automotive industry, and also honors the man who dedicated himself to preserving its legacy for future generations.

In the 1920s and early 1930s, the Prague-based automaker Praga held the top position in the sale of passenger and commercial vehicles in Czechoslovakia and exported its cars abroad. From 1957 onward, Mr. Emil Příhoda from Prague devoted his life’s work to documenting production at the Praga factory. Over the course of more than six decades, he built a collection remarkable not only for its scale but also for its breadth. He saved an extensive set of culturally significant items, many of which were critically endangered by physical destruction at the time.
