Interesting
We visit Prague every Christmas. It’s a city that doesn’t shut down for the day and there is still a lot going on and plenty of things are open on Christmas Day. We’d visited the Technical Museum last year, enjoyed it, but found that there was a lot to fit into one day. This year we just visited for the special exhibitions. The visit lasted for about 2 1/2 hours and was well worth the time we spent. Whilst this museum isn’t a must see in Prague it’s certainly worth fitting in if you have a few hours to spare. I imagine we’ll be back next year to see their new crop of special exhibits.

Interesting museum
One of the most interesting museums in Prague, for me. Basically, you need at least 3 hours to visit it. There are sections dedicated to transport (motorcycles, cars, aircrafts), mining, metallurgy, printing, photography, time measurement, mapping and so on. The exhibits have bilingual explanations, in English and Czech. There is also a cafe where you can have a snack or a drink.

Educational and diverse
The museum reminded me of the Technical Museum in Viena, as it is well curated and has a lots of topics covered. At the top floor, there is an exhibition of architecture, construction and design where you can learn more about the main buildings and lansmarks in the city. Another interesting thing in the museum is the reconstruction of a television studio, which specific TV equipment. There is also an exhibition regarding home appliances evolution in time and it is very intereseting to see how the technology evolved,

Great museum, unpleasant staff

Aug 2020 • Couples

Spectacular scale for a museum! This was our second trip to Prague and we went back to this museum to finish it off as didn’t manage to get round it all in one day on our first visit. The Transport Hall is enough for an afternoon in itself and they have plenty more exhibits to see, but not much is interactive so does get tiresome after a while.

The main thing letting down the museum are the staff (who on initial observation appear all to be rather elderly which perhaps explains their rudeness!) We had two negative encounters on our visit today.

First when we opened the lid of an old wooden washing machine which was right in the middle of the walkway. There were no signs saying not to touch or any indication that you couldn’t have a proper look at this item such as barriers or even a pedestal raising it up out of the way of passers by. However almost immediately a lady ran over to us shouting angrily in Czech. When we explained we only spoke English she continued to shout in Czech before saying ‘don’t touch its old’. A simple sign would have been sufficient (as there were on many of the other displays!).

Secondly we went into the Astronomy exhibit. At the entrance to the exhibit there is a video with some seats in front to sit and watch. It was quite warm in there so we got out a bottle of water for a quick drink thinking this would be okay since we weren’t near any displays (and as adults we are surely capable of drinking bottled water in any event) to again have a man run over shouting angrily at us in Czech. Safe to say even when it’s 30 degrees outside you can only drink in the cafe.

Although there is undoubtedly more to see from this museum, our encounters today have put me off wanting to go back.

Boring no touch-museum

Aug 2023 • Family

This museum is a great example of why many people think museums are boring. All exhibitions are pure collections, though vast and rich in number and details, there is absolutely no interaction and the entire place is covered with "no touch" and "no step" signs. Interesting choice when the better way of understanding technical history is to try and do... The transport hall is ok, but the information given in English is sporadic. Would not recommend this to families traveling with children, they should go to the Museum of Agriculture next door where the level of interaction is high. Might be good for technically interested adults, but in our opinion not worth the price.

If you like antique cars

Sep 2022

We didn't realize that the day we visited was a national holiday and it was packed with families. But we still enjoyed the exhibits especially the transport hall. We never found the cafe and the two employees we asked were very unhelpful. Could be they didn't speak English but they seemed very annoyed we were asking questions. That made me lower my rating to average.

An interesting place

Jul 2022

Very good exhibition of transport. I didn't know that Czech had such large transport roots. Other areas are also worth to see, however the museum could be more interactive. So if it is a rainy day it is worth to see.

Great exhibition with lots of vintage vehicles

Dec 2022 • Family

Great exhibition with lots of vintage vehicles. You can enjoy traveling back in time. I miss the Czech vehicles produced in the 1970s and the introduction of local manufacturers and factories.
In addition, old clocks, chemical, telephone, pencil and photography technology exhibitions can be viewed.
Definitely worth a visit.

Science Museum, Design Museum, Transport Museum - all in one Museum

Feb 2020

This is easily a Day's worth of viewing. Initally you see the huge Transport Hall which is huge and full of Aeroplanes, Trains, Cars and other transport. Quite neatly the exhibits of Motorbikes and engines are along the side. At this point you might think " so this is a Transport Museum?". Go back to the entrance and you find there is much more up the stairs/lifts.

Note - the Transport Exhibit is impossible to access for Wheelchair users.

Starting at the Top I managed to see the Architecture, Photography, Printing, Design and Astronomy rooms before calling it a day. There is much more to see.

Note - the Cafe is mainly for locals, I think. Specials are all in Czech and there was a sign saying "Fried Chicken" in Marker Pen. Like many places in Prague ( including McDonalds ) they sell a lot of Beer!

Overall this is easily a Days worth!

Huge exhibition, bring time and also some money

May 2022

A lot to see, no question. Maybe it is a question of socialisation, personally I would like to receive more technical information.
Anyhow, a huge exhibition, lots of tags and some explanations.
Cars, aircrafts, bikes, textiles, mining, chemistry and so forth, literally for anyone something to see.
Additionally, a nice canteen with beer on tap, cakes and other refreshments - great.
Finally, in my opinion, museums are part of the social education system and should be for free. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the world, but 280 crowns are proud...

AWESOME

Great place. It will be interesting for everyone, because everything is not just about technical things. Very large building with 14 expositions. We were over 2 hours and we had too little time to count on at least 4 if you want to calm down. Student ticket only 5 eur. Perfect!!!

An engineer finds his paradise

Jul 2019

Have now been here at least 4 times and still would go again.What has been assembled in this building is truly amazing. It helps having a wife who speaks Czech but it would still be fascinating for non Czech speakers.Very well arranged to show through the ages what good engineers the Czechs are.Planes , trains, cars , bikes , motorcycles, armaments, radio, television etc etc and the mine is fabulous.If you have a day and the weather is not good, take a chance and go. In house cafeteria is good and there are excellent places close by at very good prices. On our return to Prague in May 2020 , my wife has promised to come !!!!
