- The Alps in the Early Morning Sun00:00:07.480
- 00:00:07.480
- There are famous people today.00:00:30.440
- 00:00:30.440
- Like President Klaus and other politicians.00:00:34.280
- 00:00:34.280
- And there are also old, historical objects.00:00:40.200
- 00:00:40.200
- Do you expect to see anything new in there?00:00:46.320
- 00:00:46.320
- The whole thing will be new.00:00:49.960
- 00:00:49.960
- Head of the Association of Czech Travel Agents,00:01:11.120
- 00:01:11.120
- Tomio Okamura.00:01:15.120
- 00:01:15.120
- The director K.K.00:01:55.320
- 00:01:55.320
- Many things have changed00:01:58.040
- 00:01:58.040
- in the transport hall.00:02:01.440
- 00:02:01.440
- This car used to belong to Karl Hermann Frank.00:02:35.960
- 00:02:35.960
- But Heydrich's has never been here...00:02:40.700
- 00:02:40.700
- There used to be a photo.00:02:47.200
- 00:02:47.200
- It has bullet-proof glass, about 5 cm thick.00:02:51.720
- 00:02:51.720
- I told the director00:03:37.240
- 00:03:37.240
- a good many things are missing here.00:03:39.720
- 00:03:39.720
- There used to be an exhibition00:03:42.960
- 00:03:42.960
- of telecommunications equipment00:03:45.960
- 00:03:45.960
- that you won't find here now.00:03:48.800
- 00:03:48.800
- And it bothers me that there are objects00:03:51.880
- 00:03:51.880
- that have nothing to do00:03:55.360
- 00:03:55.360
- with Czech technical history,00:03:58.360
- 00:03:58.360
- like Václav Havel's car, which is irrelevant00:04:01.360
- 00:04:01.360
- from the technical point of view.00:04:05.360
- 00:04:05.360
- It's nothing more than toadying00:04:09.480
- 00:04:09.480
- to the current ideology.00:04:12.600
- 00:04:12.600
- The same goes for the Spitfire.00:04:16.400
- 00:04:16.400
- Certainly, it was flown by Czech pilots,00:04:19.880
- 00:04:19.880
- that's a historical fact.00:04:23.400
- 00:04:23.400
- But it has nothing to do00:04:26.120
- 00:04:26.120
- with Czech technical history.00:04:29.120
- 00:04:29.120
- And I saw a Trabant downstairs.00:04:37.320
- 00:04:37.320
- Why is it here?00:04:39.960
- 00:04:39.960
- There's nothing Czech about it.00:04:41.960
- 00:04:41.960
- It's as if the Germans put a Minor00:04:49.960
- 00:04:49.960
- in their museum.00:04:53.440
- 00:04:53.440
- But I think they actually did!00:04:55.960
- 00:04:55.960
- If you want to make a nice reportage00:04:59.120
- 00:04:59.120
- about technical museums,00:05:02.640
- 00:05:02.640
- I've been to Sinsheim and Speyer.00:05:05.640
- 00:05:05.640
- Sinsheim has a great exhibition of aviation.00:05:09.120
- 00:05:09.120
- It will take you a whole day00:05:15.680
- 00:05:15.680
- but it's worth it.00:05:18.680
- 00:05:18.680
- The ticket is quite expensive00:05:22.960
- 00:05:22.960
- but if you present it at the ticket office00:05:28.400
- 00:05:28.400
- of the other museum building,00:05:31.880
- 00:05:31.880
- about 30 km away,00:05:34.880
- 00:05:34.880
- they give you a big discount.00:05:37.400
- 00:05:37.400
- Here the tickets are way too overpriced.00:05:40.240
- 00:05:40.240
- An adult ticket used to cost 5 crowns!00:05:44.000
- 00:05:44.000
- Imagine you earn00:05:47.480
- 00:05:47.480
- 00:05:47.480
- so does your wife,00:05:50.480
- 00:05:50.480
- the rent is 10 thousand00:05:52.960
- 00:05:52.960
- and you want to take your two kids00:05:55.760
- 00:05:55.760
- to the museum.00:05:59.120
- 00:05:59.120
- You'd also like to buy them something,00:06:02.440
- 00:06:02.440
- let's say a book. This isn't right.00:06:05.960
- 00:06:05.960
- Those tickets will bleed you dry.00:06:09.680
- 00:06:09.680
- Their computers crashed00:06:17.840
- 00:06:17.840
- so they couldn't give us the tickets.00:06:20.360
- 00:06:20.360
- What a shame.00:06:23.840
- 00:06:23.840
- In Sinsheim they also have a 3D movie theater.00:06:25.920
- 00:06:25.920
- You have to pay extra for it.00:06:30.200
- 00:06:30.200
- There's also a free regular theater00:06:34.280
- 00:06:34.280
- where you can see how the exhibits00:06:38.480
- 00:06:38.480
- were transported.00:06:41.960
- 00:06:41.960
- The museum has a military exhibition00:06:45.744
- 00:06:45.744
- including a T 34 and a Panther with steel plates00:06:49.057
- 00:06:49.057
- showing what the tanks could shoot through.00:06:53.454
- 00:06:53.454
- There's a T 34... no, a Panther from Ukraine00:06:57.244
- 00:06:57.244
- destroyed by the Germans during the war.00:07:01.962
- 00:07:01.962
- It's an amazing exhibition,00:07:05.935
- 00:07:05.935
- and a crowded one too.00:07:09.735
- 00:07:09.735
- And there was one great thing.00:07:12.427
- 00:07:12.427
- Look around here - a lot of elderly people.00:07:15.411
- 00:07:15.411
- And there's no place for them to sit down!00:07:20.408
- 00:07:20.408
- But in Sinsheim they took the seats00:07:24.624
- 00:07:24.624
- out of the exhibited airplanes00:07:27.848
- 00:07:27.848
- for the visitors to use.00:07:30.848
- 00:07:30.848
- - Well, it's West Germany, right? - Yeah, right.00:07:36.312
- 00:07:36.312
- Let's wake up in West Germany.00:07:41.214
- 00:07:41.214
- Václav Klaus, over there.00:07:47.095
- 00:07:47.095
- In Sinsheim you'll find the car00:07:58.232
- 00:07:58.232
- that Presley used to drive.00:08:01.232
- 00:08:01.232
- And if you throw in some change,00:08:05.480
- 00:08:05.480
- it plays a song.00:08:08.841
- 00:08:08.841
- I went there twice00:08:12.109
- 00:08:12.109
- but if they got a new interesting exhibit00:08:15.109
- 00:08:15.109
- I'd go again.00:08:18.609
- 00:08:18.609
- I wouldn't waste money on the thing here.00:08:20.609
- 00:08:20.609
- My next trip will be00:08:24.405
- 00:08:24.405
- to the museum of technology in Munich.00:08:26.905
- 00:08:26.905
- This is really annoying.00:08:32.060
- 00:08:32.060
- I'm a patriot, politics aside,00:08:35.252
- 00:08:35.252
- but why should I look00:08:38.387
- 00:08:38.387
- at something completely unrelated00:08:40.868
- 00:08:40.868
- to Czech technology?00:08:44.368
- 00:08:44.368
- I don't care what cars used to belong00:08:47.297
- 00:08:47.297
- to Havel or Klaus. This isn't the 50's.00:08:50.797
- 00:08:50.797
- That's the truth, sir. Sorry to say that.00:08:54.547
- 00:08:54.547
- I respect the historical value00:09:00.502
- 00:09:00.502
- but there's no relation.00:09:05.148
- 00:09:05.148
- Find it, and I'll change my opinion.00:09:11.517
- 00:09:11.517
- This is here for a reason.00:09:18.800
- 00:09:18.800
- Why is there only one of it?00:09:21.735
- 00:09:21.735
- I'm sure it would fit in here.00:09:25.911
