Absolute must see for anyone who's interested in WW2/Cold War era history. Presented with fiery intensity by a passionate Russian with a very extensive knowledge of the KGB history, assassination techniques and weaponry. Easily one of my favourite museum experiences in Europe, the history is very much presented directly to you. It should also be noted there is a shop where you can buy genuine soviet badges and watches. Had I known this in advance I would have gladly grabbed a few gifts for my friend back home 🇦🇺🇦🇺

A must visit museum in Prague! A unique view of WWI, WWII, and the Cold War from an enthusiastic tour guide who will answer any questions you have and has some truly interesting items and information. You can only visit the museum by doing a tour which lasts 50-60 minutes. The tour requires a minimum of 2 people. So worth it!

Highly recommended if you are interested in knowing more about the history of Soviet Union and Russia. The tour guide is very funny and informative let you know more details of past KGB how they used their secret weapons. There are many historical relevant things to demonstrate. 5 Stars!

The owner is very passionate about USSR and Russian history. His acting is the biggest highlight of the museum. There are also weapons, spy kits, clothes etc. from the URSS. Be careful not to get into a debate about current politics with the owner, enjoy yourself and take some pictures with the guns.

I highly recommend visiting. Although the museum is really small, it’s jam packed with KGB weapons, uniforms, and other paraphernalia. The owner is a riot, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Really memorable, unique, and hilarious experience.

You have to be on time, a tours starts and after that you cannot enter and have to wait. Maybe it is worth waiting because the owner makes your visit worthwhile. A lot of KGB gadgets and weapons are demonstrated and can be held by visitors. The tour is informative and entertaining, not boring. Interesting place that shows some history in a not much seen or heard perspective.

We went to this KGB Museum today. Wow! The tour guide is amazing. I've never had such a crazy hour. He is so funny, informative and completely nuts. The collection is brilliant. Everything from spy cameras to ballistic knives. Anyone giving this place a bad review is obviously very sad. 10 out of 10 and I would say, worth every crown.

We went to museum for fun and the tour was fantastic. The owner was funny, energetic and you can see that he has much knowledge about the topic and he made it very entertaining. I defenely recomend you to come.

I visited the museum in December 2021 with a friend. I usually don't leave reviews but after reading so many negative reviews I feel I need to. I recommend this museum or attraction if you prefer this word. Yes, the museum might be small and yes it might not be to everyone's taste, but the way the guide is acting is part of the show to make the experience memorable. The whole experience seems designed to captivate the visitors' attention. To people who say it's expensive, do you realize how much energy is needed to do the kind of act presentation this guy does? People don't even realize that even the way the guy answers under negative reviews is also a part of the persona he created for this show. People, don't be biased, relax and enjoy the show. You will have something else to remember from Prague apart from beer.

What a man! The owner is eccentric to say the least. Stories told with passion and amazing noises and over the top acting, which makes the experience more enjoyable. Fascinating collection of historic items - with detailed accounts of how they are used. If you squeamish then you might want to check with the owner. We had fun handling and taking pictures with guns and knifes !! Highly recommended.

I can heartily recommend visiting the museum. The whole tour will take you around 1 hour. Although it is rather compact the curator of the museum knows his stuff and honestly is as much an attraction as the museum itself. Not only does he know his stuff but he delivers everything with gusto and theatrics that robs you of your breath. If you have an interest in Ww2 or Cold War history do pay it a visit or if you wants to hear someone tell recount stories in a compelling manner do give this a visit. The experience will stay with you forever.B

Passionate guide who will let you in on the details and practical aspects of the secret service weapons and lesser known details and facts of history with very real historical items! 😁 The guide was entertaining, informative and kind enough to try to answer our questions no matter how silly they might have sounded (and not poison us for them instead!). 😅 Definitely unique experience that leaves you wanting to dig deeper on some of the topics discussed, so mission accomplished!

A very unique experience. He explains a lot on how the kgb was organized and demonstrates and explains various wespons. A bit disturbing was when he showed a video of modern operations. Just say no when he asks to show it. Hes a bit crazy but i think its part of the show and he is very enthusiastic about hes collection.

You just have to visit it and witness the world of KGB. Many requisits, a very nice storyteller and a lot of history. A tour costs 500 czech crowns aka 20€ and you can pay with cash or card. It is taking about an hour and you have the oportunity to take pictures afterwards and even buy some Souvenirs!

Had a wonderful experience today at this museum! The owner/guide is very kind and was very welcoming. The tour was over an hour long with just the two of us. In this time, we were given a ton of information about everything from the history of the KGB to different kinds of weapons and killing techniques. The guide speaks very passionately, giving demonstrations and fun extra facts based on where you are from! This gave the tour a very personal touch that we loved. He even talks about the experiences of his own family and neighbor! If your English isn't very good you might have some trouble understanding the guide as he has a relatively strong Russian accent but he is also willing to explain further if you don't understand and, in our opinion, it only added to the experience. After the tour we got to walk around on our own and the guide encouraged us to get some pictures taken with the weapons. In the end we spent about 2 hours at the museum. The museum might be a bit on the pricey side for some, and if you're looking for the traditional formal museum tour this might not be the museum for you. But, if you are looking for an experience that is unique and personal and if you keep an open mind, it is definitely worth the cost! This is a memory of Prague that will definitely stick with us due to the care and passion the guide put into the tour.

Be prepared for an extremely animated and passionate demonstration of USSR history. The owner really performs for the whole hour with an eccentric level of energy. You might have to wait a little as only one tour is run at any point in time. Good little photo op with some authentic props.

(Translated by Google) Do not stop wondering about this the diversity and themes of museums in Prague ... A diverse collection of very interesting exhibits and "artistic guide", made an attempt to peek into the story of the most powerful and the famous secret service of the world ... The museum opened its doors in 2011, near Charles bridge and Prague Castle. there is exhibits, from Leninist times ... There are attributes of the special services of Czechoslovakia and a small excursion to the "Prague Spring" ... For conducting an excursion is necessary quantitative composition of sightseers (3-4 people). Will be funny to hear many tales about "those times" ... (Original) Не перестаёшь удивляться такому разнообразию и тематике музеев в Праге... Разнообразная коллекция очень интересных экспонатов и "артистичный гид", сделали попытку заглянуть в историю самой могущественной и известной секретной службы мира... Музей открыл свои двери в 2011 году,недалеко от Карлова моста и Пражского Града. Есть экспонаты,ещё с ленинских времён... Есть атрибуты спецслужбы ЧССР и небольшой экскурс в "Пражскую весну"... Для проведения экскурсии необходим количественный состав экскурсантов(3-4 человека). Будет забавно услышать, многие байки про "те времена"...

Number one in Prague. A guided tour option only but the guy is very passionate and well informed. The tours are mad to be entertaining and the whole thin is very interactive. I thought I knew a bit about the KGB but I didn't. After visiting here I do. It's a small place, essentially a shop with a guys own collection of stuff. But it's great!

it's really worth your money! Andrei is a passionate person who explains everything to you in a style that amuses people. i am very glad i went there. I learned a lot and especially laughed how he explains everything to us. if you are in Prague and you don't go past the KGB museum, you are missing a part of Prague!

A fantastic experience. The dark history of the KGB, with loads of great artifacts and the very best guide to demonstrate them. A truly immersive tour through the soviet years.

A MUST! DO NOT MISS IT!!! Incredible and very interesting museum. The guide is very knowledgeable and ready to answer all the questions. There are a lot of amazing pieces and the guide made the experience unique…he is truly an expert.

Interesting place. Owner is an eccentric guy, really good with his audience. He walks you around the room, pointing out items of interest and how they were used. He touches on the history of the Russian secret service, but the vast majority of the time is spent on demonstrating how each tool is used to execute someone. Really fun but probably wouldn't recommend for small kids. Lasts about 70 min.

Great history of Russian KGB and real artifacts and methods of its time. Passionate guide was incredibly insightful. Thank you!

What a fun experience! The tour guide is very nice and funny. It’s definitely a very different experience than traditional museum, here you can closely see and touch the collection. I understand that some people prefer “classic” museum tour but this is an experience you will not forget and you will not get bored. My family and I had a great time, the tour guide was also very kind, offering water and chairs to ladies and seniors.

The Man that does the tour is fantastic! Has great knowledge fab acting! Remembering English is not his first language it’s great! Definitely a must when in Prague!

Brilliant and well worth the visit. Funny crazy Russian bloke gives an entertaining and passionate explanation of his exhibits. You can only go in on a guided tour which has set start times so check the start times.

Insane amount of authentic items. Not just a museum but also a tour guide. Well worth the money. Funny and interactive

This was probably THE worst "museum" experience i have ever had. It's run by a man who fetishizes old soviet weapons and this basically what the whole tour is about. The tour starts off with some interesting history, but takes a hard left turn at the 15/20 minute mark where the whole thing becomes about weapons and frankly made 80% of us in there quite uncomfortable. He tries to make up for the lack of other historical facts by acting out different ways to kill people with the old soviet weapons. Would only recommend this for 15 year olds with similar gun and weapon fantasies..

The owner was very special and made it more of an acting show about how to kill people in different ways, rather than talking about the history of the KGB. I felt a bit wierded out by that fact that he focused so much on the acting and left. I would have enjoyed a more classic tour with information, without the acting part.

It always looks like it’s closed, but it’s open actually. This museum has a schedule, so be on time! The owner speaks English with a super strong accent. It was really hard to understand what he said! However you can see a different side of Soviet Union, and maybe you can enjoy it!

Very interesting experience for a group of friends. You have to go on the tour (€20, prefers cash) and there is a lot of different things to see. The guide is very passionate and quite dramatic. You can have the opportunity to hold select weaponry which is very interesting.

A very particular and curious museum to see. I must honestly confess that initially I was in doubt whether to enter, but then it is an interesting experience also due to the theatrical ability of the guide who will immerse you in the explanation of the history of the KGB, but above all of the objects, some of which are truly rare and unobtainable.

This is a fun place to visit in Prague. It is a tiny museum, however the owner is a big personality with a wealth of stories. He is very engaging and we learnt a lot and had great fun. It is essential to book as it is only open if the host has four or more visitors.

Highly recommend, not a conventional museum but highly factual and enjoyable. I love Russian history and this was great fun, my wife is less keen on the subject but also enjoyed the time spent. The owner is class and hilarious. Planning on returning next year with two friends.

This was the experience we didn't know we needed! We started off our vacation going to this museum and we certainly didn't expect the show we got! I love everything spy related so I was very excited to visit the place. The charismatic host was such a wonderful surprise! He explained the items in the museum in such detail and with such passion that we basically got transported during the KGB time and felt like we were part of the agency. We saw some very interesting artifacts and learned quite a few useful tricks 😉. Highly recommend visiting the place. It is not for the faint of heart but you will certainly not regret it!

Extremely interesting museum and guide. We got an extremely enthusiastic history lesson about Russian special forces, and got to hold some of the weapons as well. Highly recommend this museum for the guide alone Price is 350CZK/person

The tour is done by what I’m assuming is a Russian spy. He was very knowledgeable and theatrical in his re-enactments. It was a very interesting and entertaining tour, would highly recommend for anyone interested in learning more on KGB background, weapons and cocaine filled beetles!

If you are familiar w Soviet history and interested in spy craft go. A small lovingly curated collection from a patriot whose family was ‘in the service’. Highly original and entertaining and definitely ask questions. Perhaps not for the squeamish.

If you want a passionate host who will show you obscure, interesting historical artifacts combined with an incredibly unique presentation, the KGB museum is the place for you. It's hard finding people with a desire to explore one's passions with others as the host of this museum does - and you will be able to handle several weapons from the Soviet era. You are given as much time as you want to see the many, many curiosities of the Soviet era and have a great person to ask any question you wish. Want a unique museum experience you wont get anywhere else? Go here. Have patience for the tour and enjoy!

Worth a visit infact it inspired me to go visit the motherland.. I would like to learn more about this country. Anyway alot of interesting kgb and red army equipment inside but the host really makes the experience.

(Translated by Google) You shouldn't have been! Few facts - you are from St. Petersburg, you transported the collection to Prague in parts for several years, you have a very strange manner of storytelling (foreigners were clearly amazed)), see the screen ... etc. This is my subjective assessment, respect it! PS. For rudeness - count! (Original) Вот это ты зря! Немного фактов - ты из Питера, коллекцию в Прагу перевозил несколько лет частями, у тебя весьма странная манера повествования (иностранцы явно были поражены)), см. скрин... и т.д. Это моя субъективная оценка, уважай её! PS. За хамство - кол!

I'll get the one negative point out of the way first, its just slightly expensive.... but... You are greeted with a brilliant collection of interesting articles and memorabilia and an enthusiastic owner. I was very impressed with the guide, he is clearly extremely passionate about the history. I learnt a few things i didnt know and really enjoyed myself. We went with 4 other people who were German speakers. The guide was in english, his english is not 100% perfect but definitely good enough for me to understand, sir, I thank you of that! :) Go with an open mind, you will enjoy it.

We either caught Crazy Ivan (Andrei) during a lull or at the start of a tour but he took us right in and provided a fantastic hour of history bundled in tales of intrigue. His English with a fantastic Russian accent will keep you on your toes but adds a level of authenticity to the whole. Prepare yourself to watch him die in a variety on interesting ways. At some points you may find yourself wondering if he could off you and hide the body with ease. He won't admit he's ex KGB but he won't deny it either. Highly recommend this if you're in the area.

The tour was truly unique, the tour guide was full of energy and enthusiasm. At first it might seem like a small collection of ww2 artifacts, but it was worth every penny. Don't expect a boring museum visit, you won't get that here. Would come back at any time.

This is one of the best and most unusual museums in Prague. It's mostly a guided tour by the owner. He delivers the tour in a funny, engaging and interactive way that is never boring. He has a lot of original relics that he is more than happy to show off. And stay around afterwards the tour to see all the little things in between the big exhibits. All in all the most fun and informative museum in Prague.

A truly unique visit !! The guide talks about the history of the KGB (and the soviet army) with such details, he seems to have lived through all of it! Very impressive knowledge, and the expressive demonstrations make it all the more lively (and may I say fun too). It made me curious to know more, so I could understand better and ask more questions next time.

Detailed and thorough historical collection made 100x better by a such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Definitely recommended if you're interested in knowing more about this side of history!

This was on our list of stops whiles visiting Prague and, thanks to the owner, it was by far one of the most interesting experiences. The owner provided a very in depth and charismatic tour through the history of the USSR and the KGB presenting mind blowing relics and demonstrations. Спасибо!

It's a verry nice museum and perfect for children and adults. The owner of the museum is the guide and tells everything about the KGB with a lot of passion.

Had an awesome experience here, our guide/the owner is so passionate and has a bunch of awesome stories that captivate your attention! Overall an awesome experience very worth the money! Highly recommend for couples and families

Definitely a must visit. Tour guide is incredibly passionate about his museum and shows a lot of information. He helped take pictures as well.

I went there in May, 2023 with my aunt. This little museum is a quirky and funny one. The owner and curator is a very funny person and gives very detailed explanations about the comunist history and also produces some sound effects for the guns, while blasting the Soviet Union Hymn and parade videos. His type of humor may not suit everyone, but if you like history or the theme, you should definetely visit this one! Unfortunately I was with my old aunt who only spoke portuguese and started to feel unwell, so I had to cut short my presence there and could not hear the whole tour, but I really like what I saw and was really happy to learn about all the soviet spy weapons and to be able to take some photos with some real WWII weapons... Not sure the owner will read this, but I was the Brazilian Levitan that stopped by some random day :) Sad to see its temporaly closed, so I wish you all the best and that it reopens as soon as possible! Take Care!

(Translated by Google) Whole collection of interesting things and enthusiastic presentation! (Original) Hele verzameling van interessante dingen en enthousiaste presentatie!

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum, history (I recommend paying attention) (Original) Ciekawe muzeum,historia(polecam uważać przy płaceniu)

Really interesting.

A passionated staff

(Translated by Google) Small private museum. Every hour there is a tour, during which the owner tells with heart and soul about the history of the Soviet Union and the KGB in particular. All kinds of gadgets and weapons from the KGB espionage pass by. (Original) Klein particulier museum. Elk uur is er een tour, waarbij de eigenaar met hart en ziel vertelt over de geschiedenis van de Sovjet Unie en de KGB in het bijzonder. Allerlei snufjes en wapens van de KGB spionage komen voorbij.

I really loved this museum cause it's different from all the other one. I have to say I felt a little weird in the begin but the owner is really enthusiastic of his own collection. I advice to go with open mind and not being weirded out from his "show". You wouldn't find a museum like this anywhere else. He was really detailed in the explanation of all his Soviet era trophies.

What an experience! The man is very friendly, energetic and enthusiastic. You can tell he knows his stuff. Don't miss this when in Prague.

Really unique and interesting experience. I have visited many museums but this is one I will definitely remember. A whirlwind tour of Soviet Russia antiques by an eccentric Russian. It was not at all like a normal museum, and if you expect a normal museum you will be disappointed. Instead, go in to see an eccentric Russian showing you all his favourite spy weapons and take a photo holding an AK-47 while surrounded by pictures of Lenin and you will not be disappointed!

(Translated by Google) Not much to see except the guide and his wacky presentation (Original) Pas grand chose à voir si ce n est le guide et sa présentation loufoque

Very informative. I learned a lot by going to this tour. The guide is a funny guy who demonstrates perfectly how the weapons of the KGB were used. If you're in Prague and like this sort of stuff, then go and check it out. Definitely worth it!

Very original tour given by the kind and crazy owner. Very useful to learn how to kill people the old way.

More of a tour with guided commentary than a museum purely. But Andrei (The tour guide/ owner) is the man. For all of you shaming the place for the theatrics and weapons/ violence- the KGB spied on people, interrogated them and killed many just like all intelligence agencies do. If you didn’t have an interest in those topics you wouldn’t have gone. Don’t know how else to put it other than that. If you want a museum- museum like the artsy fartsy type, go to the museum of communism (not knocking them because theirs was great- but take the hint). Getting a tour from a man who has walked the walk is a special experience. Andrei, we do shots next time I’m in town!

(Translated by Google) Very expensive. One gets an hour of English-language driving. (Original) Nagyon drága. Egy órás angol nyelvű vezetést kap az ember.

Usually I do not write reviews , especially for museums, but this one was quite an experience. It is sth really unique, the owner is a really knowledgeable and cool guy. We got some very interesting and enthusiastic insights on spy weapons and Russian special forces. We got to hold some of the weapons as well and take pictures of them. I would totally recommend this tour for adults, even more if you already possess some knowledge about this subject. The guy is very knowledgeable and you would have a great chance to ask him some questions about this subject matter. Try to approach this tour with an open mind, the representation can become a bit theatrical and fanatic, but this is what makes it interesting. Moreover, we really appreciated that he took the tour only with the two of us. As far as I understood, he does not usually take tours with less than 3/4 people.

Great Place

Guide was super knowledgeable and engaging, tons of artifacts, as a whole Prague was amazing and this was a great place to learn about a piece of history

Best experience in Prague! Very entertaining! The guide presents a lot of kgb gear used in wars.

Oh maaaan, this was such a quirky and fun experience. The man giving the tour and explanation was hilarious with his performances and so informative. I quite liked him and didn’t see that sort of entertainment coming, I thought it would be a depressing and overly serious tour. I loved it. Informative, interesting and fun. His accent may be hard to follow in the beginning but you manage to decipher what he says after a bit. Keep in mind that the place is small and not a huge museum

The enthusiastic Russian collector of KGB memorabilia who established this small museum insists on showing visitors around his treasure trove of spy cameras, concealed pistols, weapons (including an original garotte, known as 'Stalin's scarf') and sinister electrical 'interrogation equipment' (read: torture). There are also rare photographs of Prague taken in 1968 by a KGB officer, with ordinary citizens strangely absent from the street scenes. There are no tours for individuals, and groups must consist of at least three people.

Great way to spend an hour if you're into this kind of history. The guy is so enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. You get his undivided attention for this time. Ignore the other reviews about entrance once you are in you are his guests and he makes others wait so you get the full treatment

Sergei is a wonderfully exciting and informative guide. The best museum experience I've ever had, unforgettable!

(Translated by Google) Yeah ... very extrentic guide ... (Original) Joa...sehr extrentischer Guide...

The museum is a very interesting place and the owner is very knowledgeable regarding the reds side of history. I would recommend this place to those who love military history and a showing of some equipment

Very enthusiastic and very knowledge guide, who gave a very thorough and complete tour of KGB history, and the Soviet History as well (from world War 1 and onwards) a lot of very interesting soy equipment, as well as several different weapons though the years. The only setback is that it was in my opinion a little pricey compared to some of the other tourist and museum tours I've done in Prague. (400 Kč per person) Either way I really enjoyed it! Спасибо! Edit: The owner has let me know that the price is for the guided tour he provides should you want it, (which I recommend thoroughly if you are interested enough to enter) and not just viewing the museum in general.

Awesome experience. Learnt a lot about the great history of KGB and different ways to attack a person depending if you want the person dead or if you still need to acquire information. Better not be an enemy of the KGB, or the owner of this museum 😄

Amazing experience, anyone who is at all interested in spy technology or the history of the Soviet Union will love the tour. I consider myself as more knowledgeable than most and I learned many new things. A must to do in Prague!

Very nice museum. Although not large in size, the personal tour by the owner was both entertaining and informative. Absolutely worth the visit!

Definitely visit if you have the opportunity.

That was a really interesting and unique Museum with a lot a explanations performed by a passionate guide (tours are available in english and in russian), some of the objects You can find in that Museum are unique, and You can't find these anywhere else!! Thank You Andrej for sharing your passion and your knowledge!!

Definitely more of a weapons show than a museum... only possible to enter at specific time slots

Very interesting stuff for KGB or kalashnikov fans.

(Translated by Google) His way of presenting is fun to very funny. But worth 16 euros pp? (Original) Zijn manier van presenteren is leuk tot erg grappig. Maar 16 euro pp waard ?

The guide himself made this museum 100 times better than any of the other big local museums, and the information he tells you is also more interesting than the other museums. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, not only those who are interested in museums.

(Translated by Google) It was closed for vacation until Feb. 20 (Original) Estaba cerrado por vacaciones hasta el 20 de febrero

(Translated by Google) INTERESTINGLY. (Original) ZAJIMAVE.

Don't leave Prag without having seen this amazing one-man-show. It's both funny and informative. And little creepy ...

Utterly brilliant. Personal collection of KBG memorabilia (and some standard USSR stuff), well worth the time. Owner is passionate and engaging, and his collection is unparalleled. Best thing I did in Prague.

We loved it and the owner / tour guide is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic

(Translated by Google) Quite interesting. (Original) Poměrně zajímavé.

This is the best museum tour in Prague.

Very informative great piece of history from the past and the mighty KGB CCP, the gentleman was fun and very friendly enjoyed it. Plus you can take photos of the great historical collections.

This guy is a one man show. Great experience
