    Museum code of ethics 4.2: Museums should ensure that information they present in displays and exhibitions is well founded, accurate and gives appropriate consideration to represented groups and core beliefs. The Museum of Communism, although including some interesting pieces from the communist period, in reality consisted simply of walls upon walls of text that so clearly advocated an anti-communist bias. Although many in this area of the world have feelings of resentment toward communism, I expected more from a Museum. I was not surprised to read the founder of this museum was an American businessman. Be careful when reading the information presented if you choose to visit.

    There's nothing special about this museum apart from the pictures and history about the Soviet origins of the Czechoslovakia. OK, it's important to remember and tell the young generations about the devastating nature of the communism but charging approximately 20 Euros for the stories that you can easily find from a simple Google search or from the Wikipedia page of the communist Czechoslovakia is nothing more than robbery. If you want to learn about Soviets or communism in general, go read Orwell or GG Marquez or Solzhenitsyn or whatever but do not get conned by this so called museum.

    At interesting museum covering the history of "Czechoslovakia" from 1938 to 1989. The entrance was unfortunately obscured by a large school party, but apart from that, there was no problem with my visit. I found most of exhibits interesting and there was a large amount of text to read, I spent a good hour/hour and a half in the museum. The museum clearly has an agenda... Every thing in Stalinist (Communist) Czechoslovakia was bad! While I'm a man of the left, and I certainly have no time for the old Czechoslovakian "Communist" government, who used police state tactics against legitimate political opposition and crushed the Prague spring of 1968. There were some jarring information boards, the Czechoslovakian Communist Party for all its many faults in 1948 had a large amount of support in the Czech part of Czechoslovakia which was glossed over and not really explained. Why and How it got that support? Some boards were just silly... "there were no mobile phones in Czechoslovakia before 1989" ... The majority of the world didn't have mobile phones before 1989! The Golden Sixties board denounces for Czechoslovakia for only abolishing Saturday working in 1968... But I'm sorry many of us in the democratic West were still working Saturday's in the 1980s! There was alot wrong with the old regime, no opposition parties, no free trade unions, no civic freedom... But nearly 40 years after the end of the regime, use the museum to put the past into proper context. Saying all that it's still worth a visit...

    A great, information museum. If you're interested in Czech history and communism, it's worth a visit.

    It's an interesting museum with enough exhibits and stories but it is heavily anti Communist. I think that "Museum of anti-Communism" would be a better name. It's good to say the actual mistakes and crimes that happened but it's really bad when a whole era is portrayed as a complete nightmare.

    The museum tells u a visual story of what communism and the soviet influence did to Czechia and Eastern Europe in general. I loved how detailed it described historical events but also the day-to-day life in the communist Czechia. Visit and allocate enough time to reflect.

    If you are interested in history during Cold war, this museum is best place to go and I strongly recommend to visit. You can learn the history of communism and what communism period was like.

  • 5/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding museum. So much history. Really informative exhibits with a lot to read and absorb. I think they did a wonderful job explaining the pain and suffering the Czech people have gone through prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Velvet Revolution. Well done!!! Leave 2-3 hours to really get the most out of this museum. A lot to read and well worth the time if you love history.

    Great insight into the history of communism of Czecho-slovakia and their relationship to the soviet union. Today there are still remainders of the communistic rule of the country such as the metronome monument.

    Great Museum! Very interesting history and facts. It truly brings to life the spirit of Communism. Maybe a little biased to the West but that's understandable. Definitely visit if you have the time.

    One of the better museums we visited in Prague. Lots of detailed information (lot of reading), great art and exhibition pieces to lead visitors through the history of communism in Europe. You can spend between 1-2 hours here depending on whether you also watch the film material. It's not too busy during week days.

    Be prepared to stay for a couple of hours because you're definitely going to need it. This requires a lot of reading, so if that's not your thing, probably best to avoid this one. This museum houses some excellent artifacts and details the reality of life in a Soviet country. Excellent place to visit while in Prague

    Some may argue that the arrangement of these artifacts and evidence indicates a certain bias, but I wholeheartedly dissent from this viewpoint. The museum simply presents events as they occurred in the past. It's a widely accepted fact that communism was a catastrophe in every country it was implemented. This includes the Czech Republic, where the collapse of communism eventually led to freedom of speech, which ironically allows one to express opinions about perceived bias.

    Well done modern museum but, hot damn, was that a lot of writing to read. Depending on your level of interest (and how much you want to read) you could spend 30 minutes or a couple hours walking around. The day we went there were people there but it wasn't super busy, no need to buy a ticket in advance.

    Never thought communism would be so interesting. A very well done museum - great photographs with good, clear descriptions. Learnt a lot about the country. Didn’t realize that the motorcycle we all grew up with in India, called the Ideal Jawa was from Czechia. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Timothée F. 2 years ago on Google
    Super interesting! We spent 4 hours learning about history of Czech Republic through 20th century and especially the communist time. It's mostly reading, almost not interactive and few things to see, but the text are interesting and in a very logical order. There are a few videos to add a bit more context to the reading. If you skip some parts or go fast it's probably doable in an hour, but it's worth taking the time to read everything.

    I learnt so much today. I grew up when the Cold War was a real thing. The Berlin Wall existed. I knew very little of the lives of the people who lived beyond that wall in the states run by Moscow. What an education I received today. Fantastic exhibits.

  • 4/5 Michael A. 4 years ago on Google
    This was an experience that I didn't expect to find in a place that I didn't expect to find it. I was very glad we stopped and spent a couple of hours here. It was a reminder to those like myself who remember and an important education for younger people who need to know. Highly recommend this one.

    Is a good place to know about history. The display is in czech and english. I visited the place on Thursday, so it wasn’t crowded. You can make the tour in 40-50 min. And you can buy gifts there too. Children under 10 don’t pay.

    Great museum. You'll know most of it if you have some historical culture, but it's still interesting to visit. It is very centered about communism specifically in Czechoslovakia. I'd totally recommend it, especially if you have received no education on the subject or if you're not European.

    The museum concentrates on wall displays. Threre are not many physical exhibits - grand majority of the display is just text and pictures on the walls. Moreover, the museum is rather small and not very interesting if you already know something about history of communism in general, but I would recommend it to people who do not know much about it.

    (Translated by Google) Great place to learn more about the history of the city and a very important time for the modern world. The communism museum is a return to the past, where we can learn and try to understand how people and those in power at that time imagined a society. Good location, worth a stop. (Original) Ótimo lugar para conhecer mais sobre a história da cidade e de toda uma época importantíssima pro mundo moderno.

  • 1/5 Flavio R. 4 months ago on Google
    Can easily be called "anti-communist museum". I'm honsetly surprised on how biased it was throughout all the panels. It was also pretty boring as it was just a series of wall texts. A quick example i can give is this: towards the end there is a timeline labelling all major events both in Czechia and in the world during the 90s; it is written that in 1920 the US gave women the right to vote, but it is not written that 3 years earlier, in 1917 the USSR did the same. It is also not said that the USSR sent the first woman in space in 1963, 20 years earlier than the US. Also it is written that in 1948 "Israel declares independence" which makes no historical sense. It's a museum about the bad things of communism. The only good thing is that you get to learn some time frames of events that happened in Czechia (or Czechoslovakia), but at this point I wouldn't even trust the content of the events that are described. Everything screams western propaganda.

    Really nice and thought provoking place. There are lots of artifacts from the communist era. There are lots of articles to read that chart the shocking and depressing history of communism through Czech Republic (including the formerly name Czechoslovakia). Utterly absorbing and tragic to be honest. For me it genuinely told me more about the rise of communism here and i think it's really important to know the history of the country.

    Be prepared to lots of reading materials in this museum on the history of Czechoslovakia and the effects of communism on the economic, social, religious, people's mentality. Despite that there were fewer physical objects to see, the descriptions and still images are sufficient to vividly convey the idea of what it looked like to live in such an environment. Have at least 1.5~2 hours if you want to get full grip of the content. By the way I got a coffee voucher for the cafe inside the museum.

    Loved it, also explains a lot about the history of the country. A lot of text but also some pretty sweet exhibits to visualise the era. Can’t get my head around the fact that people are complaining that the tone is “not neutral” as the museum explains, millions died. I notice no one complains about exhibits in Auschwitz “not being neutral”.

    As a human geographer and trained sociologist, it was great to have found this museum. I got a student discount as a PhD researcher and i enjoyed reading the history of communism from the perspective of old Czechoslovakia. Really enlightening

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 year ago on Google
    Well worth visiting and good value. Loved the sarcastically written information boards - made me laugh out loud. On the other hand the harsh reality of Communist rule and the suffering of the people is totally sobering. The video of police brutality against innocent people desperately seeking freedom was an awful reminder of idealism gone wrong. Freedom, peace and acceptance of differences must always prevail. Kids go free.

    It was a big and intriguing story about the past in Czech Republic. Many small stories and objects to see. Also some fascinating stories from people. I would suggest adding more chairs close to the stories told by some people, considering some would take 5+minutes, which might be hard for some older people. Still highly recommend giving it a visit, especially if you are into history

    What an experience to go back in time and read the text and time line and how surprest the people where the CCCP (iron curtain) just had their way and crushed every day common family and put them to hard work 14-16 hours a day 6 days a week.its been a delight spending a long weekend in Prague amazing weather it was great to cool down inside the museum of communism it was well set out on several floors with a cafe and gift shop all with air conditioning I mustn't forget the little film show enough room for about 20 - 30 people. So if you're stuck for something to do if the weather looks dodgy like for us and not enough time to to much and you like history give it a go also the under ground is right there

    This Museum was so important in my trip in prague beacuse there you understand the meaning of many things in the city(as the 300000 thai massage). There aren't many finds in this Museum but there is a lot of information about the communism and the story of the city and all of these I had never study at school.

    Overall very educational facility that teaches about communism from a Czech perspective. There is also some brief information about WWII as well. However, I felt like there were not enough physical objects from the Soviet era and most of the exhibits were just text on a wall about information I could have found online…

  • 3/5 Pete T (. 1 year ago on Google
    A great deal of detail all provided by 70 individual written postings throughout the museum. I loved the depth of information given but, after a day of walking miles of cobblestone streets, I did not enjoy standing next to each wall panel to read the history. Go with fresh feet and plan on spending time reading the history. The historic images and items were a nice break from the written information but I'm afraid that most of the information provided would be basic to anyone who has studied the history of communication in Czechoslovakia.

    Packed with interesting facts about communism and history of Czech Republic. It is a modern museum, so you will find plenty of video interviews with people who lived flduring that times and a lot of texts followed by items from that times. I highly recommend this museum to anyone, as its easily explain what communism was and what I brought to the world.

    The museum is very informative with nice displays. It provides an excellent overview of the history of the country. All history has some bias but I didn’t feel this was presenting too one-sided. It is worth spending an hour here when you visit Prague . We feel it is important to understand the history of all the countries we visit.

    It is a good place to check out and doesn't take a lot of time if you have a lot you want to see in Prague. The exhibits are designed well. You get a sense of the impacts that communism had on the lives of every day people. Children should see this museum to see that communism is horrible and a bad idea.

    Interesting exhibition of the country from before WW2 right up to the fall of the communist block. Really shows what people went through, the hardships, torture and just every day struggle under an oppressive regime. The shame is that communism is intended to never let that happen, but humans will be humans. Very enjoyable. Not cheap but not too expensive.

  • 4/5 Jannis G. 4 months ago on Google
    Awesome museum a little bit far from the center. It will give you the general knowledge everyone needs to know from the history of Communism in Czech. You also need to read a lot in either Czech or English, but the texts are very good and easily readable. The pricing is around 330 crowns and that was a little bit too much for me as I knew most of which was there. But for people who don't know that much and want to know more about communism, this museum is a very fine option and I highly recommend it.

    This museum was a highlight of our trip (which sounds weird being such a dark topic) but it was organized perfectly, numbered so I knew where in the museum to go next. It was extremely educational, emotional, but had enough levity to not make me cry the entire time. They did such a nice job I think everyone should see this museum to understand the horrors of the past that were not so long ago.

    Poor content Communism museum offers some random staff from soviet times, not giving any insight about life under communism.

    (Translated by Google) Relatively small, it only scores the important events in a nutshell. It makes no reference to the fact that Romania did not invade Czechoslovakia in 1968 under the Warsaw Pact. (Original) Relativ mic, punctează doar evenimentele importante pe scurt. Nu face referire despre faptul ca România nu a invadat Cehoslovacia în 1968 în baza pactului de la Varșovia.

    A museum showcasing the history of Communism in Czechia and in general. The tour take roughly 1 hour winding through the the different segments which are presented in a linear progress. You enter one way and end up exiting on the other. It deals with all facets of the effect of communism on the Czech. Tickets are cheap, the exhibits are well laid out and designed, and the subject matter is riveting, including visual and audio multimedia. Well worth the visit.

    Very interesting content but bad format. There is a lot of reading involved. Like 4 hours of reading. I don't mind reading but after a while you simply get tired as you're standing and reading, my legs hurt, my back hurt, my eyes got tired. There are chairs later on which helps. Text could be reduced while still achieving the same results, or even better there could be different types of text (for example bold for main events semibold for context and regular font for fillers) so if you get tired and want to hurry up, you know what to read, because right now you can basically skip or read. So basically interesting because the history in interesting but the museum is in part like someone wrote a book on walls and called it a museum. There are a couple of videos which is quite cool but there are like 10 of them lasting 10 minutes (at least that's how long the ones I watched lasted) so that alone is a lot of time. It would be nice if there was some context next to the videos so we could choose based on something, because I think barely anyone would watch all of them, after standing on feet for 3 hours. Currently there are names of people in the video, on some it says their occupation, on some it says their refuge status (political or not)

    Bit overpriced to be honest. Nee location from a few years ago. Content is so/so. Good video at end.

    Excellent museum and information. Those calling it “propaganda” need only walk outside the museum and ask anyone born before the revolution (30 years ago) if they’d ever want to go back.

    As a graphic designer I can only give a praise to this museum. From the website to the space itself, everything looks clean and the information architecture is just on point. It's really a lot to read but it's worth to understand how the communism affected the Czechs.

    If you don’t know anything about communism then this would be a cool museum, although there really is not much inside and I read every single text and only spent maybe 40 minutes inside. If you stop to listen to all of the communist victim interviews on different TV screens or watch the film in the cinema then of course it would be longer. The main reason I gave 3/5 stars is simply due to the price for the amount of content you see. I saw several communist museums in Berlin that had at least twice as much content including much more interactive options and those museums are free or maybe 5-6 euro to enter. I think like 16 euro to enter this museum is pretty extreme cost. I think maybe 5-6 euro would be fair and if they add more content/more interactive stuff in the future they could charge more.

    Good museum to learn more about the history of the country and about communism in general
