Prague Trip!
Last week we had a school trip to Prague to look at some amazing art and end the school year with a bang! Here are some photos from the trip:
Arrival! 
We got an amazing opportunity to stay at the Swedish embassy, as one of our students parent lives there. Here is the view!
Our first meal in Prague was a delicious lentil soup.
Miles is impressed by the castle.
The St. Vitus Cathedral on the castle grounds.
The St. George Convent, filled with 19th century art was unfortunately closed for renovations.
A gate to one of the many courtyards in the castle. We also went to the Lobkowicz Palace, the oldest and largest private collection of art and architecture in the Czech Republic.

Strolling down a picturesque street! 
The infamous Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Square.
We visited the Mucha Museum! 
Staffan enjoying some amazing contemporary sculptures.
The Olsany Cemetery is a must see if you are in Prague, the most beatiful cemetary in the world!
Franz Kafkas house in The Golden Lane at night.
Alphonse Mucha’s “The Slav Epic” was the highlight of the trip, 20 giant canvases depicting the history of the Slavic peoples. Truly amazing works of art!
Hans and Sanna are awestruck! The Slav Epic is on display in Prague at the Veletrzni Palace (Part of the national gallery) for at least two years.
We visited the other floors at the Veletrzni Palace to view some 19th century treasures, most noteworthy the stunning Vojtech Hynais paintings. 
Visiting another part of the national gallery we saw the dutch masters exhibition ”Rembrandt & Co” and some other amazing baroque art.
Czeching out the paintings!
At the Jakub Schikaneder exhibition, which had a huge collection of his work.
