During World War II, the MKP was required by decree to remove and destroy thousands of books by “undesirable” authors or on undesirable topics. Our librarians showed great courage—they did not destroy the books, but instead walled them up in the building’s basement. This is how they have been preserved to this day, and you can come see the most interesting ones here. At the exhibition, you’ll find, for example, Masaryk’s writings, literature about the legionnaires, books published by our Sokol members, as well as titles dealing with Freemasons or writers of Jewish origin. These are often unique items that you won’t find anywhere else.
This guided walking tour will take you to places associated with Prague legends. In these ancient tales, characters such as the Iron Man and the tailor from the House of the Green Frog will come to life. Together, we’ll also take a look at one of the narrowest houses in Prague and stop by Týn Church.
