Last Days; Kutna Hora

Yesterday was the Contemporary Art Museum. It is known by other names, which are all confusung, but the one above fits. It is five floors, with 3.5 devoted to Czech work and one point five to the Paris school. For such a major collection, it was empty. We maybe saw one person there among the Picasso, Monets,and Gauguins.

Later we had dinner at a highly recommended Czevh place -- not good and then on to the Estates opera house to see Don Giovanni. We had nosebleed tickets, but the theater is small compared to the Academy of Music that they seemed quite good. Really it is quite exciting to see an ora in the house it premiered in withperiod costumes and sets.

Kutna Hora has the Ossuary -- a chirch decorated with the bones of plague ans Hussite war victims--40,000 of them.

The town itself is stunning-medieval with many churches and winding streets, Max tells me thst Czech Republic is filled with these Medeival cities-- like Italy I guess but with less
