A word from the director
"For the steamboat Vyšehrad, we long sought a worthy use, and the museum proved to be the ideal solution — the boat itself becomes both an exhibit and a living symbol of 160 years of steamboating in Prague, a place where visitors can touch history and literally feel the pulse of the steam engine."
