There are also abundant animal specimens, minerals, etc. The specimens are exquisitely made and have a high degree of restoration. For example, the lifelike dinosaur skeleton model and the Window on the Ancient World exhibition take you back millions of years. • History Hall: presents Czech history from the 8th century to the First World War. There are medieval jewelry, the archbishop's luxurious carriage, etc. Some exhibition halls use large-scale videos to restore historical scenes, and there are interactive exhibits where you can try out medieval weapons. • Rooftop observation deck: offers a 360-degree view of Prague’s magnificent scenery.
