At
interesting
museum
covering
the
history
of
"Czechoslovakia"
from
1938
to
1989.
The
entrance
was
unfortunately
obscured
by
a
large
school
party,
but
apart
from
that,
there
was
no
problem
with
my
visit.
I
found
most
of
exhibits
interesting
and
there
was
a
large
amount
of
text
to
read,
I
spent
a
good
hour/hour
and
a
half
in
the
museum.
The
museum
clearly
has
an
agenda...
Every
thing
in
Stalinist
(Communist)
Czechoslovakia
was
bad!
While
I'm
a
man
of
the
left,
and
I
certainly
have
no
time
for
the
old
Czechoslovakian
"Communist"
government,
who
used
police
state
tactics
against
legitimate
political
opposition
and
crushed
the
Prague
spring
of
1968.
There
were
some
jarring
information
boards,
the
Czechoslovakian
Communist
Party
for
all
its
many
faults
in
1948
had
a
large
amount
of
support
in
the
Czech
part
of
Czechoslovakia
which
was
glossed
over
and
not
really
explained.
Why
and
How
it
got
that
support?
Some
boards
were
just
silly...
"there
were
no
mobile
phones
in
Czechoslovakia
before
1989"
...
The
majority
of
the
world
didn't
have
mobile
phones
before
1989!
The
Golden
Sixties
board
denounces
for
Czechoslovakia
for
only
abolishing
Saturday
working
in
1968...
But
I'm
sorry
many
of
us
in
the
democratic
West
were
still
working
Saturday's
in
the
1980s!
There
was
alot
wrong
with
the
old
regime,
no
opposition
parties,
no
free
trade
unions,
no
civic
freedom...
But
nearly
40
years
after
the
end
of
the
regime,
use
the
museum
to
put
the
past
into
proper
context.
Saying
all
that
it's
still
worth
a
visit...
