Sedlec Ossuary, known as the Bone Church and is one of the most visited sights in the Czech…read moreRepublic, a chapel decorated with the bones of an estimated 40,000 people. How did they all get there? In 1278 King Ottokar II of Bohemia sent an abbot of the Sedlec Cistercian Monastery to Jerusalem; he returned with "holy soil" from Golgotha, the location of Jesus' crucifixion, and sprinkled the soil on the ground around the church. This became a strong draw for people to be buried here, and the cemetery expanded, most notably during the times of the Black Death plague and the Hussite Wars. Later when construction of a Gothic church began in the early 15th century, bones from mass graves were uncovered during construction and stored in the basement of the church. There they remained for centuries until 1870, Frantisek Rint, a woodcarver, was given the task of organizing them. The final result was a chapel with four main mounds of skulls, an impressive chandelier and a coat of arms of the Schwarzenberg family, all created from human bones. Currently tickets need to purchased thru separate tour operators. I went with a bus tour and stayed there for about 30 minutes in total as the church and cemetery outside is pretty small, and a distance (maybe 10 minutes driving) from the town of Kutna Hora proper. They have a strict no photos policy as of 2024 autumn, citing concerns to people posting negative comments and criticizing the display of human remains. While it is macabre in some ways, the bones were all bleached in efforts to prevent disease and well-preserved. Such an uncanny experience to walk among so many that walked before us!

You're going see nudity, in a creepy, not beautiful way, but somehow your eyes can't turn away. Cesky Krumlov is a small town, and on the outside this Art institute looked equally small...but its actually very large inside! The building is shockingly large inside, with 3 stories packed with art! Again, this isn't your typical art museum...be prepared to be shocked, wowed, disgusted, impressed, baffled, and mind blown. Those original early 20th century German Expressionists had some very unique perspectives on life. Can't describe this in words...so just look at my pictures I've posted...and I did not post the Rated R pics. 220CZK/$10 for entry, worth every penny for art lovers, or art likers such as myself.

You know, like a real museum. I know the sign says 'Muzeum', but you'd be surprised at how many places we walked in that weren't what their sign. Delis that were cafes. Apartments that were hotels. Trains that said they were going to specific destination at a specific time but then just decided they weren't going to anymore and that you can just shove your travel plans up your ass. Welcome to the Czech Republic... where nothing is as it seems. The place is small for the size that you'd expect a museum to be, but it's free and I cant' argue with that. If it's free, it's probably for me. Inside the layout is long, rectangular, and divided into 2 or 3 different open rooms, all displaying different vintage wares. One room had old, empty liquor bottles, the front is largely old beer signs, there was a display case with lots of different old-timey scales, lots of old type-writers, and quite a few retail furnishings from back in the day. There were a number of what would be considered racially insensitive signs advertising coconuts... or at least that's what we roughly translated it to, but I think because they're for historical purposes in a museum and obviously not the crown jewel of any display, that it's alright in a -- 'whoa, I can't believe anyone ever thought was okay.' sort of way. In the end, the place is free and the guy who runs the place is nice and smile-y. It's not a destination spot, and if you miss heading here it won't break your day, but it's a fine place to spend 3-7 minutes, and that's literally all the time you need to see everything.
