Black Ligth theatre and Frank Kafka Museum

We went to see a "Black Light theatre". I read on the Internet about this type of theatre. It was very interesting. Actors and figures dancing in black light with colourful reflective clothes. The effect is fantastic. It is very different to anything we have ever seen. Today we spent our day visiting the Prague Castle, symbol of the Czech Republic. According to the Guinness Book of records, Prague Castle is the largest continuous castle complex in the world and it is also inscribed in the UNESCO world heritage. There are two Churches - the Czech Republic's largest church St Vitus Cathedral rises up from inside the castle walls and the Basilica of st. George from the 10th century. The old Royal palace dating from 1135 and its famous for the wonderful late Gothic vaulted roofs.

We saw the impressive Kafka's museum. All his life shown in interactive rooms with filling cabinets, flickering video screens and the sounds of ringing telephones. At the end there is a surreal video installation inspired by "the Castle".

Gostei muito do Museu Franz Kafka, e muito interativo e voce consegue entender toda a sua historia que esta escirto em tcheco, alemao e ingles. E uma das pracas de Praga tem uma estatua dele considerada surreal, muito bonita.
