Current Affairs Prague Castle proudly opens new permanent exhibition telling the "Story of Prague Castle"

Last year, some five million people visited Prague Castle - a place that is not just the seat of the head of state but which also houses the Czech crown jewels, the St Vitus' treasury, and the remains of many Bohemian rulers and saints. However, until now, a mere visit to the complex has never been enough to learn about the lives of the people connected with its five-thousand-year history - the aristocrats, artists, alchemists, architects, scholars, tradesmen and servants. For two-and-a-half years, experts on the castle's history have worked on an exhibition that would do just that, and last week the Prague Castle Administration proudly presented its new project - the "Story of Prague Castle" a permanent exhibition in the Gothic part of the Old Royal Palace.
