Museum of Prague

Newly renovated museum that has now lots of interactive interesting features. Though not so big, anyone can enjoy it, especially families with children. At the time of my review, entrance is free

The museum is of high quality. The model of prague from the 19th century is of high quality and the exhibition really highlights it at the gems it is. Let yourself be transported throughout the history of Prague with this amazing, interactive and delicate exhibition.

A small but interesting exhibition with lots of interactive elements - kids will enjoy it. All signs and explanations are in two languages: Czech and English.

Cheapest AI-crap without any substance. Empty rooms. No information about the city of Prague whatsoever. One sentence on the first info-panel (of three!!) was "time was measured by the sun and sometimes by clocks." If that is everything you can write about a city with 1000 of years of history you should be prohibited from curating a Museum. A shame!

Go on 1st day of new year when many myself opened for free and this one reopen after reconstruction. The animations and illustration is well made, the whole immersive set up is complex and stunning, lots of works involved. However, I expect to learn more factual facts. Do not learn much about Prague history or architecture or characteristics after the visit

Wow what amazing experience: small but amazing high quality expo:) must to visit

Joined the opening of the new Florenc building. Amazing work how it was rebuilt. Interactive exhibitions combined with temporary ones. The building is similar to the National museum and hence really worthy to enjoy just on its own. Def. recommend!

Screens. Screens. Screens. The whole "museum" is just bunch of screens with content you could see at home on TV, tablet or smartphone, so there is no point in visiting at all. Just make a website and you can close this whole "museum" and save on employees/utilities/rent. Oh yeah, I forgot there is ONE physical artifact to see - famous 200yo Prague paper model, but "museum" goes an extra mile to make it as difficult as possible to see it - they show it in complete darkness with few LEDs, which are not even always on, but they are going dim every few seconds, so you can't even see the model properly. I feel pity for the people who had to wait in queue to get inside, we got inside luckily without waiting for free, but even that I consider very expensive, since it was huge waste of my time and getting here to see bunch of screens and then not see the actual paper model. TLDR I am sure it is very modern presentation, but it's completely visitors hostile.

If you're in Prague for the first time and only have a couple days, I wouldn't recommend spending your time here, it's better to absorb history while exploring the city. But if you're a return or longer-staying visitor -- or need an indoor activity -- this is a very well done museum telling the history of Prague from early settlement to the 20th century. All of the exhibits are logically laid out and have just the right amount of info in both Czech and English. Artifacts are numerous and contribute well. The building itself is a treasure, built specifically to house the museum over 100 years ago.

I love going to museums, so decided to visit the City of Prague Museum. It's a relatively small museum, and the highlight of the museum is the model of Prague created by Antonín Langweil between 1826 and 1837 (http://en.muzeumprahy.cz/the-langweil-model-of-prague). However, other than the model, I didn't find the museum particularly exciting or interesting. If you happen to be in the area and have an hour or so to kill (you really don't need much time for this museum), definitely check it out. But I don't think the museum is worth a special trip. Instead, go to the National Technical Museum. (Unfortunately the National Museum, Národní Muzeum, was closed when I was in Prague.)

Whenever we travel, my husband loves to visit City Museums. They generally aren't heavily visited but they often have fascinating stories to tell and excellent insights into local history. Such is the case with the Prague City Museum - the displays start in Neolithic times and trace the history of the city through modern times through art, decorative objects and artifacts. Displays here are heavy on the period from the Middle Ages through the Baroque area, when the city flourished. Unlike the US, you can expect "minders" in most of the rooms to make sure you don't touch (even though it's all behind glass) or take photos (unless you paid extra for the "photo permit"). We ran into a really friendly, English speaking docent who talked about her favorite treasures here - I always like to see passionate museum people. Also, you know that gorgeous sundial in the Old Town Square - the one 3 billion tourists are crowded around, snapping photos and getting their pockets picked? It's a reproduction - you can see the real one here, up close with not another tourist in sight. Priceless.
