- BobN06Avondale, PA720 contributionsGreat place to learn about the origin of Kutna Hora, the silver mines. Kutna Hora was once the regal center for the creation of coinage for the realm and was a city rivaling Prague in size. From the legend about their original discovery to the end of the mines the story is all here. There are some nice exhibits on silver mining under the town but the highlight is the walk through the silver mine that runs under the monastery.Written July 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MegProvidence, RI28 contributionsThe chocolate museum is a fun stop in Kutna Hora. The proprietor was really lovely to talk with and explained everything about the different chocolates we tried. It was both informative and delicious! Definitely recommend stopping in.Written October 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DorotaGdaGdansk, Poland5 contributionsVery nice for a fan. 1:1 statues are quite impressive and sound is a great addition. Pity though, you can't touch the figurinies. For entry price though, still worth a go. You can see groot too!Written August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ilja MPrague, Czech Republic79 contributionsThis castle is really worth a visit, especially if you are interested in aristocratic life.
There is a nice park open for relaxation. You can buy a picnic basket (they have three types of baskets: so-called coffee basket, for couples, for families). You must order a basket ahead.Written August 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My visit of the museum bought some memories, but there were also some Lego series that are new to me.
There are some bigger and more complex Lego figures both inside and outside parts of the museum. I can imagine that the outside yard must be very interesting for kids, especially in summer, since there are possibilities to play ball sports. For adults, the yard offers a café, that I assume is open in summer. I visited the place in November and the café was closed.
I find the placement of all texts about the original and history of the Lego a bit unfortunate. First of all, it's not very clear which text should be read after which one, and secondly, the space of the stairs is a bit narrow so you need to step back to be actually able to read anything. The stairs might be packed like that. At the same time, I understand that there is a lot of Lego showpieces and that everything is a bit squeezed in one house.
Unless you or your kids are totally into Lego, and unless you aim to read all the information at the stairs, the visit of the museum lasts about 1 hour.Written November 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The sign said it should be open but it wasn't , later told it closes in winterWritten February 5, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bianca WLondon, UK1,553 contributionsNice museum of printing press, they have lots of old machines to look at.
The audio guide is a bit odd as it's played loudly over an old radio. I was the only guest at the time, so it wasn't a problem, but I imagine if it was busy, it could get difficult to hear.
Still, there's a lot of history in this place and I really enjoyed my visit.Written August 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Upon arriving in Kutna Hora, we were armed with very minimal information about things to see and do. The Sedlec Ossuary, of course, the silver mine, and I had remembered reading something somewhere about an alchemy museum. I was quite excited about it as it's a refreshing change from the same old Catholic church alchemy one finds on every corner. Literally.
This alchemy museum? Notsomuch. It's a couple of rooms with some zombie looking mannequin folks doing alchemy-ish stuff. I think there must be a local craftsperson who makes these museum zombies because they have Silver Miner Zombies at the silver mining museum as well. Maybe a town discount? There is also a random fiberglass (?) golem in a golem nook and a completely out of context television in a multi-faceted mirrored corridor (which was actually really very cool looking but we just could not figure out how in the world it was connected to the rest of the exhibit).
The Good Things:
The information about the history of the place itself is quite interesting but I really wish they had gone more in depth. They certainly could've gone more in depth on the description of what alchemy is; I found their explanation to be extremely rudimentary with regards to that.
The location is authentic as are a great number of the instruments found in the rooms. I don't know why, but that seemed to take a bit of the edge off of the contrivance of the rest of it all.
It wasn't an amazing experience but it certainly wasn't the worst museum I've ever been to (yeah, Vatican, I'm talking about you). I wouldn't even consider it a waste of time and money because at about $2.50US, you can look around a basement for about five minutes. No, it's not wonderful and I'm not sure that calling it a museum is accurate but it's not offensively awful.
(I still really love you, Kutna Hora, please don't be mad at me!)Written September 19, 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
