National Technical Museum
At the National Technical Museum, it was really interesting to see the different automobiles the Czech Republic had been using and making throughout their history. You could see the changes from the first automobiles to the cars used during the Soviet sphere of influence. Also the architecture section gave a great insight on Czech buildings and how the style of buildings was different during the early 20th century from the buildings built during the Soviet influence. The museum offered us magnificent look inside Czech technology throughout history.

It was also interesting to see how the automobiles and architecture relates and differs to american architecture and automobiles.
ReplyDeleteThe way in which the Czechs were influenced by both the Germans and the Soviets is interesting and how the transition also impacted their automobile design.
ReplyDeleteRelating to what both Devin and Brandon said, I think a lot of the soviet (and future Czech) design of their architecture and automobiles had a lot to do with just trying to be anti-American. At the time the cod war was all the rage and anything American was bad, as was anything Russian over there.
