The area
Address
Neighborhood: Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred meters long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theaters. National Theater near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.

A lot of fun
Oct 2022
This was so much fun with a kid. Must visit if travelling with children. Its really funny and you will leave with fantastic photos. Small and can be toured in 30 mins. There is also an Illusion Art Museum in Prague, so do not confuse the two. Both are quite unique.

Employees at the museum were so polite and nice to us, they were taking photos for us and described their visitors how they can have the best photos. Really recomend this. It’s good for couples and even for the family with kids.

The queue took a very long time to go down for us to even purchase our tickets, lady on the desk was friendly and polite though. I don't think I would personally visit this place again as it wasn't as fun as we anticipated but I guess some people love it, just wasn't for me! 😊

DO NOT GO NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!
Aug 2020 • Couples
REALLY NOT worth the time or money. Half closed and viewed everything in 10 minutes.

This was my first and last visit.

I can only imagine the positive reviews have either commented on the wrong museum as there is a VERY good one in the old town square, or possibly viewed it when it was fully opened.

Very small, if more than 20 people in there it is full!

Huge disappointment, some OK pictures but seriously lacking in expectation!

I can honestly say I would not go back here even if it was free.
