Torrents threaten jewels of Prague

Charles Davis writes \”From report on the severe flooding in Prague from
In The Guardian.

Government employees could be seen frantically evacuating books and rare documents from the basement of the national library, the
Klementinum, which houses six million tomes, including priceless medieval manuscripts.
Books were also removed from the Czech senate in the Waldstejn palace, while curators at the
city\’s famous Kampa museum were forced to move its collection of modern art to higher floors. \”
