National Museum

Visited here on a whim, and it was great. Tickets for adults are around £12 each, they accept card or cash. You have to scan the bar code on the ticket to get in. It wasn't busy when we went, which was a weekday afternoon. Downstairs are lockers, and you need to leave bigger bags there if you are going to any of the exhibitions. The ticket included everything except the children's museum, which is next door. We got to see Selam and Lucy, who were early humans, and their bones. There are toilets dotted around that are quite spacious. Beautiful interior. I was amazed at some of the information and the level of effort put in to fill out the rooms, and make the models. It was an added bonus that there was everything in English, too. It's warm inside, so you might want to leave your bags downstairs. You could spend a couple of hours here. There is a small cafe and two museum shops, too. I would buy tickets in advance for the weekend or busy periods.

I visited the National Museum both inside and outside and it was an incredible experience! The exterior of the building is grand and majestic, showcasing beautiful historical architecture. Inside, the museum is well-organized with fascinating exhibits covering Czech history, culture, and natural sciences. The combination of stunning architecture and rich collections makes it a must-visit spot in Prague. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history and culture.

A must see for anyone visiting Prague for the first time. An outstanding building, the main staircase especially. The exhibits are very well displayed with some interesting and clever animated wall projections. Certainly on par with the Natural History Museum in London. Note: coats and large bags must be checked in first after you've paid.

The National Museum in Prague is a stunning landmark on Wenceslas Square and one of the must-visit places in the city. The building is impressive, beautifully renovated, and offers great views of the square. The exhibitions are rich and diverse – from history, archaeology, and natural sciences to modern interactive displays. I especially enjoyed the underground connection to the New Building, which perfectly combines historical charm with a modern touch. It’s also very family-friendly – interactive sections are great for kids, while adults will appreciate the wealth of information and beautiful presentation. The staff is friendly, and the spaces are clean and welcoming. If you are looking for a top cultural experience in the heart of Prague, the National Museum is one of the best places to visit and I highly recommend it.

We visited this as a family of 5pax and this was one of the highlights of our Prague trip. 1. The ticket counter and museum service staff all speak excellent English and was extremely helpful and polite in explaining the museum exhibitions and various tickets. 2. There is baggage storage area for backpacks that is free of charge. You cannot bring your backpack in if it is too big. I could bring my pouch in, so it seems like a matter of size. 3. The ground floor is absolutely gorgeous and we spent a lot of time taking pictures there. I would suggest spending at least 30mins for photos alone. The top floor also has an amazing aeriel view of Prague. 4. We spent around 4hrs here and eventually sped thru the rest of the museum as we got too hungry. We could have probably spent another 2hrs there if we were not hungry! 5. We have visited many museums all over the world: London, Singapore, Paris, Shanghai, Beijing etc and this Museum is one of the best we have seen so far.

The National museum is a bit smaller than in other countries but we liked that it actually focused a lot on Czech history instead of exhibiting things from all over the world. There is a lot to see and learn. The building itself is already really beautiful. Backpack storage is for free and if you don't go on the weekends or holidays, there is enough space to look around undisturbed. I'd definitely recommend going there on your trip to Prague.

Absolutely fantastic experience at the National Museum in Prague! I was completely amazed by both the interior and the exhibits—everything is so beautifully presented. A standout feature is the free app, which provides an audio guide and a detailed map, making the visit even more enjoyable and informative. Truly a must-visit destination; I’m thoroughly impressed!

Fantastic museum. So so well done. There is lots of thing that you can touch, many interactive things for kids as well. Everything is very well curated and explained. They help you place everything into a historical context and there is lots to see. Rocks, fossils, swords but all is very well done. Must visit if you’re in Prague.
