Cruising the Logos Bible Software newsgroups this morning (news://news.logos.com) I noticed that a user posted a link to a review of a museum exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit (reviewed by the New York Times) is called Prague: The Crown of Bohemia: 1347-1437.

Diarmaid MacCullough's book The Reformation: A History (listed at Amazon for only $13.98, which is an incredible price for a hardcover book of this nature. I'd highly recommend purchasing if you have any interest in the history of the Reformation!) traces some of the history of Bohemia, so historical names, places and events mentioned in the review are familar to me.

The NYT review is great (though some portions are a bit much) and makes me wish I was there so I could go. Please check it out, and make sure to hit the slideshow for a few images — the badge from the Order of the Dragon is really cool!

Update (2005-09-27): Bob Pritchett, spending some time on holiday on the east coast, just called me to rub it in. He was in New York, wondering what to do for the day, so he decided to take the family to see the exhibit. He said it was pretty cool. But he didn't even get me any gift shop swag as thanks for pointing him there ...
