Prague - In the historical building of the National Museum in Prague, a countdown of 77 days to July 7 will begin today, when the landmark at the upper end of Wenceslas Square will be closed to the public for five years due to reconstruction. Today, under police supervision, the last of the rare items from the museum's collections, including the famous Celtic head from Mšecké Žehrovice, will be removed from the building.
    The reconstruction will, among other things, change the access to the main entrance, as a quiet space will be created in front of the museum fountain after the planned relocation of the north-south road behind the museum building. Visitors will be able to descend from the building's vestibule to newly constructed spaces in the building's basement, which will include coatrooms and restrooms. A museum café, shop, and children's corner will be available on the ground floor.
    The Pantheon on the first floor will continue to commemorate significant men and women of Czech science, public life, and art. The remaining exhibition halls will house the first part of the new permanent exhibition. On the second floor, an interactive center for students and youth will be located in the columned hall.
    New elevators after reconstruction will lead visitors to a connecting corridor enhanced with multimedia effects, allowing them passage to the adjacent new building of the National Museum. Here, the permanent exhibition will continue, and exhibitions, concerts, and other cultural events will be held.
