National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror

A truly hidden gem and completely free. We stumbled upon this museum almost by accident and, in my opinion, it needs to be on every “must see” list for those who visit Prague and are even remotely interested in 20th century history. The exhibits are well done, the artifacts are powerful, and the monuments are moving. There was a 2016 movie made about this event, called “Anthropoid”. We watched the movie after touring the monument, and it was really quite accurate. The Czechs do an amazing job of remembering their heroes of the Resistance, and I’m really glad we went. It’s walking distance from Old Town, and all the exhibits are in both Czech and English.

An essential visit for anyone interested in WW2 history, the brave paratroopers, resistance movement and Czechoslovak people. The attendant was friendly and really helpful. If you ask the attendant she will put on a truly moving film which is in several languages including English. Afterwards pop across the street to the Czech bar, decked out in Operation Anthropoid memorabilia, opposite for a delicious two course lunch for around 200kc. Topped our morning visits off nicely.

Free entry to a very well maintained memorial to heroes of Czechia during WW2. There is also a small cinema and a historic exposition telling about the difficult history the country had to go through at the hands of Nazies and even Allies who gave Czechia away without a fight.

Visiting the church was very impactful. Walking through the crypt and seeing all the bullet holes made the movie (Anthropoid) really come to life. These brave men will truly be remembered. If you are a history buff this needs to be on your Prague list. Best part…it’s free and you should absolutely check it out!

A poignant and affecting museum that chronicles the lives and daring actions of the heroes of the Heydrich terror, as dramatised in the film 'Anthropoid'. Allow 30-45 minutes for your visit. Pre-booking is not necessary.

A pretty cool museum/site of important history. It’s fairly easy to miss unless you’re looking for it, however once inside there is plenty of information in both Czech and English giving the reader knowledge on Operation Anthropoid and those involved, as well as the events both leading up to that event as well as in the aftermath. Visitors are also able to visit the site where the assassins and their co-conspirators were hidden and ultimately died at the hands of the Nazis. This is quite literally an amazing piece of history, and one of the key events of WWII in Europe, which is not to be missed during a visit to Prague.

This free museum documents the hero’s of the heydrich terror and project anthropoid. We make sure to visit and pay our respects on every visit to Prague

This is one of the places I wanted to visit after deciding to holiday in Prague. I already new about the Reinhard Heydrich Assassination and a chance to see the crypt where the Heroes hid couldn't be missed. The museum itself is small but very informative. Information is translated in English which was helpful, and of course was free. So there is no excuse not to visit. The staff however .... that's a different matter. Constantly telling people to be quite, and yet quite happy to chat loudly and laugh amongst themselves at the reception desk. The bald man working during our visit was particularly hypocritical being louder than any of the visitors. That aside. Yes this place is well worth a visit.
