A must visit when you are in the area. The exhibition is very good, you need approx one hour here. They also have a short movie about the archeological site. Great architecture. 100 czk entrance fee. Good parking.

This is a REALLY REALLY well done museum for its size and location in a small Czech village. The facility is excellent, with beautiful displays in both Czech and English for everything in the permanent collection. You can learn a lot and visualize a lot at this site which was VERY IMPORTANT in terms of prehistory and archaeology, really on a worldwide scale. It also is not very crowded, even on weekends, which is really nice for a good quality museum. The English speaking staff member named Clara was wonderful. She knew so much and was able to answer any question about anything. I had the good fortune of tagging along on a tour that she was giving for a member (there are no regular tours available) but even outside of the tour, she was available to answer any questions about any of the displays or objects, and she really just did all-around excellent job. The only reason I am not giving this excellent museum 5 stars is because almost everything is a replica. The originals of the world-famous Venus of Dolni Vestonice is locked away somewhere in Brno and cannot be seen by the public (a strange decision), and the skeletons of the world famous triple burial is also a replica, the real one is in the basement somewhere. Now, having said that, replicas are awesome if they are painstakingly made, just like the originals, using the same techniques and materials, which is pretty much the case here, so it’s definitely worth going to if you are in the Czech Republic or Moravia. AND, you get to see an actual excavated mammoth site with real mammoth bones and thousands of year-old reindeer remains sticking right out of it in the exact spot in which it was excavated, and this particular room is amazing and it is not a replica. To summarize what you cannot miss here: - Venus of Dolni Vestonice and other famous Venuses (exact replicas) - Skeletons of the triple burial with the intriguing atypical male perhaps being worshipped in the middle in a very suggestive way (exact replicas) - prehistoric stone tools from the site (real) - Mammoth bones sticking out of the actual excavation site (real) - possibly worlds oldest map on mammoth tusk (replica but it was found here!) It is quite hard to get here without a car from Brno so make sure to really research and plan well :). I ended up taking a 30 minute train from Brno to Breclav and then a 45 minute bus from there. It worked out but was not without stress :) Great job on this museum guys!

The building is beautifully designed inside and out. Most of the exhibits have explanations in English… a very nice plus for me. Some exhibits have pull out drawers underneath that kids can read and touch.. Our 8 year old son loved this Museum.

I think it's just ok. Don't get me wrong, the finds are interesting, it's just that the museum is very small, you only need about 30 mins. I think this would be better as an exhibition at a larger museum.

Great newly-built museum to commemorate the mammoth-hunter settlements that once was on the slopes of the nearby Pálava hills. Splendid piece of architecture, great presentation (although approximate age estimation would be helpful next to the exhibits), movie screening right at the entrance is half the experience and is very well done. Ticket price is okay, however having to purchase special separate ticket just to take pictures is something I find quite pathetic and unfortunately means a star down. Well worth visiting the place of our long gone ancestors.

The building itself is an excellent piece of architecture perfectly fitting into the theme of the museum. Apart from the inside expositions, we spent quite a lot of time outside on the archeological park roof. A must-see, both inside as well as outside.

Fantastic museum, great example of modern architecture stuffed with pieces of artefacts, not very big, However very educational, all starting with a great video. Just an idea to change the chairs in the video room and some lighting so people don’t bump into the chair just next to entrance!!! Health and safety should come first!

Very modern museum with a nice display of various paleolithic relics.. although pretty much all are replicas. It doesn't take long to see it all, about 40 minutes maximum.
