\nThe National Technical Museum is the largest Czech institution of its kind. It exhibits collections on fourteen permanent exhibitions and many temporary displays. What belongs to the jewels in the Transport exposition is a racing car Mercedes Benz W154, in which Rudolf Caracciola won the Grand Prix in 1938. The exposition of Astronomy boasts precious exhibits, such as B\u00fcrgi\u2019s sextant used by Johannes Kepler. The Czech assets to science are represented by, e.g. the contact-lenses apparatus in the exposition of Chemistry, which Otto Wichterle used in 1961 for producing the first soft contact lenses.
