National Museum

The Prague National Museum was one of the best experiences in the city, especially from a value-for-money perspective. For what you pay, you get so much more than expected. The museum is huge, beautifully organized, and offers an incredibly rich and pleasant experience from start to finish. The exhibits are impressive and varied, the building itself is stunning, and there is so much to see that you truly feel immersed for hours. It’s one of those places where you leave feeling that the ticket price was more than justified.

National Museum Prague: A Monumental Treasury of Czech Heritage The National Museum Prague is not just a building; it is a monumental institution that serves as the ultimate repository of Czech history, natural science, and culture. My visit left me profoundly impressed by its sheer scale and the incredible diversity housed within its walls. The first striking element is the main building itself—the Historical Building on Wenceslas Square. Its Neo-Renaissance architecture is breathtakingly grand, hinting at the vastness of the collections inside. The diversity of the exhibitions is truly remarkable. Visitors can seamlessly transition from: * The glittering Mineralogy and Petrology displays, showcasing thousands of specimens with intricate detail. * To the fascinating Palaeontology hall, which includes the dramatic skeleton of a whale and ancient fossils. * To the deeply meaningful History sections, meticulously documenting Czech national development and pivotal historical events with great care and detail. What sets this museum apart is the commitment to detail in presentation. Every exhibit, whether it is a tiny archaeological artifact or a large geological sample, is contextualized and beautifully lit, inviting close examination. It truly feels like walking through an entire encyclopedia brought to life. If you are looking for an experience that offers both majestic architecture and an exhaustive, diverse, and detailed look into Central European natural and human history, the National Museum Prague is an absolute must-see.

This is the most beautiful and unique museum I’ve seen. It has not only the history of the country but also the history of the human kind. Amazing exhibition of meteorites and unique minerals- they were so beautiful and so much as a variety that is unbelievable. For sure is a must see! They also have a very good exhibition of mammoth, wild and sea animals. For sure you need more than 3 hours to check all this. They also have a large space for your coats.

National Museum – Historic Building (Historická budova Národního muzea) is an impressive and beautifully restored landmark in Prague. The architecture alone is worth the visit, with grand staircases, elegant halls, and stunning views from inside the building. The exhibitions are well presented and informative, covering Czech history, culture, and natural science. The building is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, making it enjoyable to explore at a relaxed pace. A great stop for anyone interested in history and architecture, and a highlight on Wenceslas Square.

Is it cold and wet and pretty dark outside? Have you done everything else. Or maybe never even considered this as something to do? Well, that was us! This museum is excellent, best mineral section I have seen, and the fish and crustacean section was also a favourite. Lots of interesting exhibits. In English as well, so you can understand what is what. Great cafe, and also a bistro where you can get another beer (if you want). The internal architecture and staircases are very impressive. We also went to the new building next door through the underpass which had a fantastic 20th century section which explains all about the journey through socialism, world wars and was really interesting. Lots of areas to stop and sit as well. Good value entry price and worth the cost. We all thought it was great including a teenager. My wife isn't a museum person and didn't even complain 😄 100% worth visiting.

This is a National History Museum of Prague and it focuses highly on evolution and natural selection. There is a rock collection and fossil displays. The museum itself is three floors and has interactive displays and artwork. The price to get in is reasonable and the staff are informative. The building is stunning inside and has marble pillars. Would recommend.

A journey through the National Museum in Prague is truly monumental. The museum curates an incredibly diverse and extensive collection, offering a deep dive into the diverse tapestry of the Czech nation. From profound natural history exhibits that detail the evolution of life, including magnificent paleontological displays, to extensive sections on prehistory and human evolution. You'll also find captivating artifacts like ancient tools and beautifully preserved traditional clothing, all contextualized to tell the stories of the past. The museum's profile also encompasses a rich variety of natural history, from marine biology to magnificent collections of minerals and botany, providing a truly comprehensive educational and memorable experience

Truly amazing experience! Totally worth it 💯! There is so much history gathered there you need half day to see all (if you stop and read/watch everything) . Yes watch , they created cinematic for almost every room with history lesson. Also there is VR experience you watch a timelapse movie 🍿 ( in not spoiling anymore) which is like 5 min long. There is view on top i totally recommend going to and start from top to bottom. You can use the elevator 🛗, but unfortunately it’s really slow . Statirs are faster option , but hard to find 😅. Totally worth it!
