Speculum Alchemiae is a historical site and museum located in Prague, Czech Republic. It is one of the oldest alchemical laboratories in Europe, dating back to the 16th century during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II, who was known for his interest in the occult and alchemy. The site was rediscovered in 2002 after the Prague floods revealed hidden underground chambers. Visitors to Speculum Alchemiae can explore the preserved alchemical workshops, see original equipment and artifacts, and learn about the mystical and scientific practices of alchemists who sought to transform base metals into gold and discover the elixir of life.
