Apple Museum
Husova 21, Prague, Czech Republic, 110 00
Billed as the largest private collection of Apple products in the world, the Apple Museum sits inside the Pop Art Gallery in a revamped 12th-century townhouse. This homage to all things Apple includes more than 470 original products and highlights the backstory of the company’s legendary founders, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
The basics
Found in the tangle of streets between Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square in Prague’s Old Town, the museum opened in December 2015 and is a mecca for techies and Apple aficionados. If visiting on a Friday or weekend, or traveling with a group, you can purchase discounted passes to skip the line and save money on tickets.
From the curiously toy-like Apple Mac from 1984 through the multicolored iPods of the early 21st century to the MacBooks introduced in 2012, the development of one of the world’s biggest brands is laid out in sleek displays guaranteed to appeal to kids and adults alike. Exhibits from Steve Jobs’ life include his college yearbooks, sneakers, and distinctive black turtleneck sweaters.
