An evening of Irish dancing jigs its way to Prague (and other Czech cities). It's not the sort of thing we see regularly but perhaps it is possible to have too much of a good thing, isn't it?
Prague's annual Night of the Museums has returned after a hiatus. Sixty museums, art galleries and cultural locations will welcome visitors next Saturday night.

Things vary depending on the location but the wide list of participating venues (link in CZ) means you've got
When discovered, the fossilised remains of Lucy changed our understanding of human evolution.

I'm looking forward to the gravity-defying Cirque du Soleil performance later this summer. They'll be in Prague for a month and will have multiple shows on weekends.
