Czechs in History Český Dub in the Middle Ages
For this week’s Czechs in History I’ve brought you somewhere rather special – one of my favourite places in the Czech Republic – Český Dub. And I’m sitting here at about 10 at night, exhausted after a hard week’s work, just about to go to sleep in the local museum, which is all rather scary and exciting because there are things like suits of armour downstairs, which I am hoping won’t come to life when I switch the lights out. And I owe this visit here to the fact that, tomorrow morning, I have a meeting with museum’s curator, Tomáš Edel, who is going to tell me about the very important medieval significance of this otherwise not very remarkable town of around 3,000 inhabitants. So, I look forward to that after a night of ghosts and creaking floorboards in the museum.
