This from the Prague Post:
"The flooding also damaged a part of the nation's heritage, according to
Miroslav Kun of the National Central Archive. Water flooded the archives of
the ministries of transport and argiculture, the Military Historical
Archive, the Academy of Science, the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and the
Czech Statistical Office. The damage ''cannot be calculated on in terms of
money," Kun said."

"Workers scrambled to save the city's historic legacy. Valuable volumes
deposited in the National Library near the bridge were moved from the
basement to upper floors. Artworks in galleries and exhibition rooms on the
Vltava embankment also were moved."
