DescriptionThe first Wax Museum in Prague was opened at Rapid Palace in March 1997, in the presence of many representatives from politics and culture. The establishment of such a museum, using solely Czech artists - sculptors, make – up artists, architects and designers - had been the long held dream of Zdenek Kocik, the museum’s owner. Due to the huge number of visitors from home and abroad, a second museum was opened in 1999 near Karlstejn Castle (one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Czech Republic) and a third museum in 2001, at Ceský Krumlov. In 2002 the Wax Museum opened in Mostecka Street, Prague (near to the Charles Bridge), where visitors can experience the atmosphere of Prague down through the centuries. In the following year we moved from Rapid Palace to be more centrally placed in Melantrichova Street. The renovation of the Melantrichova Street premises in 2003 provided the opportunity to divide the collection between the two Prague Wax Museums; Mostecka Street specialising in the early historical exhibits, whilst at the renovated Melantrichova Street museum, over 50 Czech and World figures of culture, sport and politics from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, who changed local and world history, can be seen, spread throughout an area covering 250 sq meters.
