Museum of Communism

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

A nicely curated important piece of history. This museum is not too big, but there is a lot to read for history lovers, with some personal experiences of citizens. I would recommend 1-1.5 hours spent here. We visited on a Friday and there was no wait and no need to book tickets beforehand.

We learned a lot. No guide needed. Very easy to go through. You can read all the info next to the exhibit. My family is Eastern European so it made me appreciate my homeland of USA more.

Great Museum about the Com era of Prague. There is a lot of reading to do in the Museum while you have pieces of historical stuff on display. There is a short movie that you can watch (12min or so). Overall, it's interesting and I would recommend jumping in for a quick run, cause, why not.

This was a very informative and thought-provoking visit to a museum that presents the chapter of Communism in a modern way. Through eyewitness video accounts, extensive written materials, and original audio recordings, the museum offers a deeply immersive experience of life under Communism. Although the museum itself isn’t very large, it is rich in content and detail. We needed some time to take everything in our own pace — about 1.5 hours.

Brilliant, simple-to-follow but also very detailed collection that tells a compelling story but also left me in tears. Yes, it could be accused of “anti-communist bias” but it would be difficult to tell the story of communism in Czechoslovakia without displaying some kind of hatred. It is not laden with artefacts but the ones they have (including propaganda posters, uniforms, paintings, photos and a genuine gallows and noose) are well deployed and mixed with lots of text and filmed interviews with political prisoners and dissidents, along with footage from the Velvet Revolution.

Not crowded (March working dat visit), which is apositive anomaly in Prague. It contains short stories and explanations of event and persons on walls with some pictures. It is suitable rather for adults who experienced communism and this will remind them of the events. We noticed that children (a school visit) were rather uninterested.
