Mozart Museum in Prague There were 11 of us on the trip. As we walked around Budapest, several other towns in Hungary, and around the capital of the Czech Republic, we often expressed contempt for all the tourists that occupied our space. Never mind our own processions through the city "ooohing" and "aaahing" as we went. Then again, a lot of that "ooohing" and "aaahing" involved gawking at all the gift shops along the way. We had all the makings of a bus tour. In fact, our trip did involve a number of bus trips. The synagogues, cathedrals, and museums were all splendid. On one of the last days of our trip, a colleague and I decided to walk to the Mozart museum by way of the castle district.We walked a lot that day. We didn’t quite realize how long it would take, but it was marvelous walking through the city away from the tourist district. There were many pretty streets and courtyards along the way and we would stop to have ice cream or just to look around at the architecture. In a quaint little house far from the city center sits the Mozart Museum. Inside we found the instruments he used, some of the music scores and a variety of artifacts concerning the talented composer. I had gained a new appreciation of his work after seeing Don Giovanni at the Estates Theatre earlier in the week. This was a truly fabulous museum in his honor. The setting, size and beauty of the museum made it a truly spectacular experience. Needless to say, we took a taxi back to town! E-MAIL
