About
Everything began as an exibition of microminiature art in 1996 in St. Petersburg, Russia. A year later the same exhibition traveled to Prague and located on Jilská street, Prague 1 – Old Town. After its success in Prague the exibition got its new name "Muzeum miniatur" and obtained a permanent residence on the premises of the Strahov Monastery in Prague 1. Today the Museum of Miniatures in Prague owns one of the largest collections of microminiatures in the world, including 29 exhibits. The collection includes works by three authors: Nikolai Aldunin (1956–2009), Edward Ter Ghazarian (1923–2012) and Anatoly Konenko (*1954).

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Trip1594930 contributionsWorth a visit.An interesting museum and lots of "how did they do that ? moments but you get round quite quickly. Bit more info on how these miniatures are actually created would be a welcome addition. Located in the "monastry"area by the castle and worth a visit if you are in that area .Written March 29, 2024
- Shaun R0 contributionsInteresting, could be even betterVery small museum, interesting to see all the tiny miniature works. Would say this only serves as a very short visit, 30 mins max, mainly because there is nothing to read about the works! It needs some more information about how each was actually made, and maybe a display showing something being made in action.Written February 17, 2024
- ZedDubai0 contributionsIt's interesting, but a mere 15-20 visitWhile interesting to see these miniatures, they are quite few spread across two rooms. This will only take 20 minutes or so. Do pass by if you are in the area, but I wouldn't get out of my way to reach it.Written October 6, 2023
- Relax257160302310 contributionsAbrubt and rude staff memberReally looked forward to going to this place but the lady who worked in it was very rude to me and my husband ! We hardly had been through the front daor when she was asking if we were going to pay and when my husband asked if she accepted credit card she abruptly said cash only so we had to leaveWritten September 11, 2023
- Shinylifeforme0 contributionsTiny museumAdvance warning, this museum is cash only!! The miniature museum is very small (ha!) and not worth going unless you're already in the area. It's a handful of exhibits of, admittedly very very good, miniature artwork. 10 minute visit maximum. That said, the exhibits really are good, and very tiny. There's just not very many of them.Written July 26, 2023
- SeaSull30 contributionsWhat?! No way?! Wow!The work displayed here is absolutely mind blowing! Words can’t describe how spectacular these works are. A caravan of camels within the eye of a needle?! A full train on a hair?! The works are phenomenal however the museum space was lackluster and a lot of questions went unanswered as much information was not in English (though this is my English speaking fault)Written June 29, 2022
- poffice0 contributionsShould've gone to SpecsaversWere aiming to look round the monastery but it wasn't open to the public so popped in to this small (of course) museum of miniatures.Fascinating to focus on whole ships, trains,written scripts, scenic views and parades of varied animals painted (don't know HOW), on grains of rice, mosquito wings, fleas leg etc. worth the patience to focus carefully and take the time to ponder, wonder and appreciate these perfect miniature art works.Written November 27, 2019
- O8277SAsandrah0 contributionsFascinatingThis small museum is really worth a visit. Around the edges of a room are various items that are so small you need to look through a microscope to see but are fascinating - the flea with the golden horseshoes was my favourite but I found all really interesting and went around them more than once. The museum is right at the top of the hill by the monastery.Written August 20, 2019
- AyOwY0 contributionsWorth it absolutely undoubtablyFascinating, interesting and absolutely mind boggling: We had an very long and very hot walk here from Prague castle, but oh boy it was worth it, such a fascinating hidden gem in Prague! The reception left much to be desired, barely meeting our eye when we entered and going as far as to lean backwards on her chair and block access to 2 of the prices whilst we were there, but never mindWritten May 27, 2019
- ShirlDuff180 contributionsAmazingThis museum is absolutely amazing! The work is phenomenal! Such great talent! Would highly recommend... especially if you love miniature thingsWritten May 22, 2019
- louisa4610 contributionsFlea with a golden horseshoe!It is true it doesn't take long to walk around and some are a little faded but it is a very different place to go and as it is based in a beautiful monastery and close to spectacular viewing point and then a short walk to the look out tower (mini Eiffel) and then on again to the Funicular railway it is a worthwhile little diversion. You an literately see a camel in the eye of a needle.Written May 14, 2019
- U8982CDkarenm0 contributionsThe detail is amazing but only needs a short visitThis museum is filled with the smallest exhibits you could find. We were amazed by the detail that has been achieved however it takes about 15 minutes to look at them & then you’re done. Some of the tiny pictures are becoming faded - the literature states they rotate the exhibits so maybe we got a bad batch. You really can’t believe the work to achieve these tiny piecesWritten March 12, 2019
- BostonTravelerBoston0 contributionsSuper Small (just 1 room), but approriate, right?Will only take you 20-30 minutes at most, but a fascinating collection and worth the visit. Then, visit the nearby monastery restaurant/brewery for good food & beer, with fantastic views out over Prague!Written March 6, 2019
- Travelhop890 contributionsInteresting Museum, not very welcoming.My partner and I enjoyed looking around the museum, it is fascinating and definitely different. However we were not met with a particularly warm welcome. The lady behind the counter made us feel like we were being a pain by coming in, she didn't acknowledge us at all and didn't even stop her conversation to take our money. One visit was enough.Written February 26, 2019
- Tillytrot0 contributionsFascinating hidden gemEventually found this museum - in the monastery grounds. Was worth the hunt! Very small museum. However, amazing tiny works of art by micro-miniaturist Konenko. A row of camels through the eye of a needle, a very detailed train on a strand of hair and portrait of Chekhov on a poppy seed - just incredible. Apparently he had to work between heartbeats as work so intricate. I would have liked to know more about the artist Konenko. There was only an A4 sheet of paper with very brief explanations. I wanted more about the artist and history behind his work. In my opinion this very small museum could be much improved with very little effort.Written February 17, 2019

Another museum in Prague that has some great exhibits but turns out to be ~30 minute quickie. If you take it slow. Price is not steep so I think you get decent value for your money. That is because there is some very unique artwork, like strain of camels sculpted on a mosquitoe's wing or

We were impressed of how interesting this museum was.All the exhibits were very interesting and you can something not very usual. The lady at the museum was very kind and helpful. Maybe the price of 6 euros is a bit more than we would expect.

Slightly outside the most tourist area but can be combined with a visit to the library of the Strahov convent (very beautiful)
Nice museum with a series of creations that seem incredible as they were executed
