National Revival Prague, 1890
Prague in 1890 stands at the crest of the Czech National Revival, when new museums, theatres and civic monuments assert a modern Czech identity amid the old medieval fabric. The walk follows river embankments, tram-lined boulevards and cobbled lanes to cathedral terraces, the crowded astronomical clock and the gilded dome of the National Theatre, passing markets, workshops and newly fashionable Art Nouveau details.
36 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 15 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Prague as it stood in 1890 (“History of Prague”).
