Filip Brož The largest private collection of Apple products in the world was presented to the public on Thursday at the official opening of the Apple Museum in Prague. The unique exhibition presents the most valuable and comprehensive collection of computers from 1976 to 2012 and other items produced by the Californian company.
Unique exhibits have been borrowed from private collections from all over the world, including gems such as the legendary Apple I, a collection of Macintoshes, iPods, iPhones, NeXT computers, school yearbooks from the days of Steve Jobs and Wozniak, and many other rare exhibits. They were loaned to the Apple Museum by private collectors who wish to remain anonymous.
Dozens of people did not miss the grand opening, while Thursday's premiere was intended for journalists and invited guests. Apple museum, the first of its kind not only in the Czech Republic, is located in a renovated town house on the corner of Husovy and Karlova streets in Prague. Anyone can visit it daily from 10 a.m. to 22 p.m.
Tribute to Steve Jobs
"The purpose of the new Apple Museum is primarily to pay tribute to the brilliant visionary Steve Jobs, who radically changed the world of digital technologies," said Simona Andělová for 2media.cz, adding that people can closely examine his legacy and let the mysterious and nostalgic atmosphere of the most successful company in human history.
"The creation of the Apple Museum was initiated by the Pop Art Gallery Center Foundation with the aim of presenting to the public, through the cult brand of the computer industry, the modern history of each of us - how the rapid development of technology affects our lives, which are connected with them, for better or for worse," continued Andělová.
According to her, CTU students participated in the realization of the exhibition, while the exposition is accompanied by a number of interesting data. "For example, the length of the installed cables reaches an incredible twelve thousand meters," stated Andělová.
The exhibition is designed in accordance with the philosophy of the Apple brand, i.e. in a clean, impressive design, made of quality materials and supported by the latest technologies. "The individual exhibits are clearly arranged, placed on blocks of perfectly smooth artificial corian stone," explained Andělová, adding that visitors are then accompanied by a multimedia guide available via smartphone or tablet, in nine world languages.
On the ground floor, people will find a stylish cafe and a vegan raw bistro with food and drinks that Steve Jobs loved. "In addition to refreshments, tablets are also available to make it more pleasant and pass the time. Children are invited to a fun interactive room," Andělová said.
The organizers want to use the income from the entrance fee for charitable purposes. In the basement of the building, i.e. in the well-preserved Romanesque cellars from the 14th century, a pop art gallery will be opened in the course of the following month, which will be devoted mainly to Czech representatives of this artistic style of the XNUMXs.
May I ask how much the entrance fee is? Thanks
How about trying to click on the link that will take you to the Apple Museum website?
They wouldn't earn that :)
That would have to be something on them first, other than "Coming Soon..."
300 - which seems a bit out of line to me - it's obvious that they count on the visit of Apple users, who are mostly people with higher incomes, but 300 for a tour of something that everyone knows seems out of line with reality. I'd rather see an art exhibition where I can see something I can't normally see. I understand that it can be nicely installed and so on, but still.
People with higher incomes, that is no longer true. Apple products are used by many ordinary people today, as it is possible to take out a flat rate or a loan.
Sure, a loan for life, that's ideal. And I don't know how long ago and what's not true, because that's not the point at all, it's just a point of view - Eastern European vs. west. Apple is actually used by ordinary people, the joke is that in the west, where Apple is also targeting its products. With us, the so-called "ordinary person" will always go for the cheaper option, that's just the way it is.
hey, he won't give it to me anymore and I have to write it here. Have you ever been further than Slovakia in your life? everywhere in the world, apple is considered a brand for the more wealthy (I'm not saying luxury), it's not that they don't have it, but when compared to other phones, it's expensive and you're in the Czech Republic, Romania, or the USA...
Apart from the fact that on foreign (USA) websites this topic is also constantly mistaken (is apple products for rich? - type it into Google) btw. do you know that the average savings of the average American is 10000 USD... or do you all think that to the west of us, everyone wears Armani, drives Mercedes, eats caviar and Apple seems cheap to them? have you ever seen a tourist It's strange that everyone doesn't have rags from Prada, what...
you who have never been anywhere... at least think before you write something....
You're out of line. You are showing off some travelogue, while it is really enough to go to a larger European city and look around. Practically everyone has an iPhone in their hand (when I was in Belgium in the summer, even the souvenir seller had the last six), but you'll only see a high-end Samsung here and there. Macbook in every cafe. No, apple products are normal consumption, there is nothing extra expensive about it. Just think about the prices in the Czech Republic in 2011, when the koruna was not yet completely crippled.
The organizers want to use the income from the entrance fee for charitable purposes. Then it doesn't seem out of line with reality.
Super.
I already wrote it here somewhere:
… And be aware that there are x times more Apple phones and tablets in Shanghai alone
than in the entire Czech Republic. So put up with the fact that we are for Apple (i
Google) areas that just won't adapt.
...
We can play "telephone" style (we play (but also thanks
given the set conditions, we have the opportunity/we enjoy it)) just here. In the US with
anyone can have an iP by contract, in the opposite hemisphere (China, India, Malaysia...) there are so many haves and have-nots who have iPs that...
And it is still true that the price of even the most expensive Android phone (Sansung, for example) was set by Apple... Samsung is not the price maker of its products. Apple just gives it uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
maneuvering space.
And what? What is he responding to like this post? Did you get the article wrong?
This is for the contribution/s below. I will go to the exhibition.
Why is there no mention in the article that the grand opening was pretty messed up and some journalists gave up and left because they didn't like waiting on the street like pipes?
Hello, where can I buy tickets online if I want it as a gift for Christmas. They don't work on the museum's website. The phone number or email is not listed anywhere, so I could ask directly. Thank you
