What travelers are saying
- Doc687Rochester, MN224 contributionsWe visited this museum in Prague in 2008. At that time, it was a small walk-up museum displaying some antique memorabilia with a time line of events about the Czech experience under communism and socialism . It has now grown in to a multi-media interactive museum with time lines and technology targeted at those who might typically visit this museum ( American tourists , of which I am one). It continues to provide a valuable history lesson for all visitors who likely are not cognizant of this Czech history. While I still enjoyed this museum, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed at the capitalist face-lift.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marion28 contributionsFollowing a long walk through the sidesteps and up a steep hill we found this restaurant and brewery. It's very popular,so we had to wait. Seats outside we ordered two different beers, one dark, one light and a very tasty goulash soup. This was accompanied by white and brown bread. Followed by a delicious apple strudel.
Staff friendly and good choice of beers and things to eat. From here we walked through several sqares past beautiful view points to Charles Brige..

All I remember was the cemetery which was inaccessible and did not have much contextualization. Now, there are paths that allow visitors a closer look at the cemetery. Although the writing is faded and I don’t read the languages, I could make out some of the grave decorations, such as grapes and a cow. In addition, pebbles are placed on the gravestones and monuments for prominent citizens are labeled.
The area was packed with tourists but it was easy to walk around and find the synagogues. The Spanish synagogue in particular provides a nice history of the Jews in Prague. I also saw the Pinkas synagogue with the names of Jews from Prague who perished during the Holocaust. I wish I had seen the Maisel synagogue but my feet gave out and the weather was not cooperating (constant rain).Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Fossils were well displayed but there was no geological timeframe.
Early history had some interesting objects but pretty disappointing for a national museum. Fair enough, there was a lot of Czech history, but that was not interesting for this tourist.
The ‘buffet’ was just a small counter with a few sandwiches and cakes and very limited seats (lots of people sat on the floor).
Mobile ticket bought in advance worked on and off.Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dr-on-holsShrewsbury, UK19 contributionsNice museum near the Jewish quarter to visit. It was relatively cool inside and had very few tourists, so a wonderful peaceful place to visit on a hot day. We were left with a real feel for Czech culture and history with the exhibits.Written August 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pub Monster NeilLiverpool, UK58,592 contributionsI love walking around the wonderful Old Town of Prague, so many beautiful buildings in this district ,one I love to view is Clam Gallas Palace.
A beautiful former palace building constructed between 1714-1718 and built from designs from architect Dominico Canevale ,I love the facade, the most eye catching aspect are the four Atlas supports ( Atlas supports are architectural supports in the form of a man ) ,the building is very photogenic and adds to the joy of walking around this part of the Old Town and easy to locate along Husova.Written March 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is extremely worthwhile moving out of the main centre of Prague to visit this fantastic building. The ticket allows you to visit three huge floors absolutely packed with interesting artworks not just from domestic artists but also a selection of world-wide names. It is huge and you can easily spend 3 -4 hours here. everything is well presented in English and the way the pieces are organised are well thought through. Fantastic place. The actual building itself is well worth the visit. Overall, exceeds many of the more well-known European tourist art destinations.Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Vanya D11 contributionsThe senior lady who conducts the tour, Milenka, is the soul of the house. We came out of this experience very enriched thanks to her knowledge. The tour lasts 60 min and there is a video after about the renovation of the villa which we recommend as you will appreciate the restoration work in details. The girls at the ticket disk are extremely friendly and helpful.Written August 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- hcoumoussisAthens, Greece54 contributionsWe visited the new museum which connected to the old museum by an underground passageway which played a video of Prague's history. The natural history part of the museum is a little complicated to find but once you find it you are amazed.Written April 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Waldstein Riding School is a great looking building ,very photogenic ,it's a building and exhibition centre to most definitely check out if you're in the area and easy to locate on Valdstejnska in the Lesser Town.Written April 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s interesting to see how people lived back a few centuries. Well, the Rick and powerful people.Written August 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mark BRochester, UK62 contributionsA very interesting and entertaining museum. Beautifully set out in a very modern, non-stuffy style but above all VERY detailed. It helps if you have at least a vague idea of whom Emperor Charles or Karl IV was (he virtually created the Prague we see today - Charles Bridge, the castle) or an interest in medieval history.Written June 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
