Friends,
I recently spent 10 days in the Czech Republic and I visited 3 different military museums : the Schwarzburg Military Exhibit in Prague, The Army Museum in Zizkov and the Military Technical Museum in Lesany. I took a lot of pictures in a hurry and tried to photograph English title cards when they were available ( which was not always an option).
I've provided links below to my pics on Webshots and a table of contents for each so you know what's there. For your best viewing pleasure, click on the link, on the main photo page look to the Right and click "slideshow", when you see a pic you like click it in the middle of the picture and it will give you a Full Screen view. The pics turned out pretty well considering some display cases had a lot of glare. The Zizkov pics have the most glare, all others were easier to take. If anyone wishes to comment on a picture you have to register with the site, then just scroll down to the bottom and enter comments under the pic. I have only organized these by type and time period so any help would be appreciated. Enjoy !
