Prague, Czech Republic
Michna Palace

Sports fans can finally rejoice in a museum dedicated to the athletics.

This palace has gone through a viscous cycle of crumbling and being rebuilt from the ruins, over and over again. Originally it was the summer palace of Ottavio Aostalli, before becoming a Baroque style castle, finally being sold to the army, and then in 1918 was converted into the sports centre where athletes trained in the gardens. Its design mimics a 16th century Roman palace. It stands facing a garden, its stucco-embellished façade is cream with red trimmings. In neat rows, square windows line the walls above which stone busts peer through a circular window. Today, the Czechosloval Sokol Village, a physical education organization, has made it the official museum of Physical Culture and Sport, a niche exhibit that exercise fanatics will appreciate.
