• Prumyslovy Palace and Lapidarius
  Located between Bubenec's great park and Holesovice the area containing Prumyslovy Palace and the Lapidarium has numerous other structures and buildings for exhibitions, performances, and fairs. Really special is the cylindrical building in which 'Jesus Christ Superstar' is performed (foto not included). The musical is in the Czech language and outstanding.

Note:
The master-organization of most museums is called the 'National Gallery' (Narodni Galerie), which actually is a museum, but spread out over the city in numerous buildings. Other museums either are part of other organizations or privately owned. A lot of art can also be admired in galleries.
