Museum of Communism

Seems to be a good museum to visit and see some old authentic objects. The history was represented well for the Chech side. There were few devastating objects showcasing the cruelty of the time. If you have chance do visit this place. A good interesting illusion instalation of a "room" is showcased.

This is a really well done and informative history of eastern European communism, especially where it relates to the former Czechoslovakia. Very sobering and pretty heart-rending at times but balanced out by the tongue-in-cheek tone of the gift shop! You could fly round it in maybe 45 mins just focusing on the excellent exhibits e.g. example classrooms, apartments, offices, even motorbikes or you could take your time reading it all and it could easily take a couple of hours. All in all , would definitely recommend it if you're interested in the era.

Going to this museum was the best decision I made in my trip to Prague. If you are into history of countries you have to go there! I spent almost 4 hours here reading every detail. It’s perfect that they are showing the history of communism from the very beginning in Czechoslovakia and continue it as an engaging timeline. The tickets are super cheap comparing to insane tickets across Europe to get inside a church for 30-40€. As a student I only paid 290 CZK. I also liked the design of the museum from the darkness of communism to the bright side of Prague spring and the velvet revolution. Highly recommended🤞🏻💯

Excelente opportunity to understand the impacts of communism in the society. You need to read a lot to understand and I spend 5 hours with all experiments and texts. I wish in the future an audio will be available for help during the experience.

Great museum the beautifully and poignant tell the history of a unique and challenging time in Czech history. Through the expert use of multimedia they tell the difficult story of their transition into communism, revolts against, and finally emergence back to a democratic country. Museum is on the second floor and gift shop and small café stand are on the third. There is an elevator, but there are two steps up to enter the building. The museum is equally well presented in English and Czech. It is only a few blocks from the National Museum, easy walking distance. This is a must see venue for a Prague visir.

super interesting. one thing is their family tickets are confusing since you all have to pile through the turnstall on one scan. multiple people had issues with this while we were there. otherwise, i highly recommend it for the interesting and educational exhibits

A powerful and eye-opening experience. The Museum of Communism offers a detailed and honest look into life under the regime, with real stories, artifacts, and visuals that bring history to life. It’s well-organized, informative, and thought-provoking — I left with a much deeper understanding of what people lived through during that era. There was no wait to enter, and I don’t think tickets need to be booked in advance. Make sure to stop by the gift shop — it’s definitely worth a visit, with unique items and well-curated books that complement the experience perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Prague and interested in history or politics.

I'm personally very interested in this time frame and despotic regimes so this museum was fascinating. Yes, this museum is criticizing the communist regime and is not impartial. However, it is presenting all the aspects of the Czechoslovakian society before, during and after the communist regime with a lot of details so your analyze and personal feelings will make the right opinion:) Last but not least: I really enjoy humour based on politics, so the goodies were enjoyable
