Well done museum. Not expensive at all, and ironically, you have to veer left from a Casino to get there. Lots of statues, and small exhibits. Most striking was the Communist School Classroom, which has been reconstructed to show what a school around 1970 might look like, complete with propaganda. This museum won't eat up much time during your day,... more

As others mention, this small museum is difficult to find its a 5 minute walk from Wenceslas Square and the Old Square on Na Prikope, ironically postioned above a huge McDonalds! The museum costs 180 CZK (about £5.20) and is divided into; The origins of Communism with a bit about Marx, Lenin and Stalin. The Communist Dream, The Reality, The... more

This is a "must see" for a depiction of what life was like in the former Czechoslovakia during the years of Communism. It's easy for a current visitor to lose sight of this given all the bustling commerce in Old Town and Wenceslas Squares. Although the museum is small, it brings this dark period to life and gives one a... more

We spent the day walking around Wenceslas Square and the National Museum (with the still visible scars from Russian tanks), and then went to the Museum of Communisim. We didn't have any trouble finding it, because we were on the lookout for both a McDonalds and Casino. The museum is quite small, but filled with lots of information. I was... more

Wow. As others have said, it's very moving to experience this museum. Took a few wrong twists and turns to find it, but it's well worth the effort. The video is going to get to you, be warned. more

Well worth a look if you are interested in the Czech Republic’s communist past. The information boards include English translations providing information about Marx, Lenin, and Stalin, the arts, sport, and propaganda during communist times. There is also a video with sobering footage from the Velvet Revolution. Probably allow at least an hour to look through. more

Visit this museum to learn of the rise and fall of communism in the Czeck Republic. See footage of troops in the main tourist areas in Prague as well as of the Velvet Revolution -- the direct confrontation of the crowd with the police - including "plain clothes" police. Shunned by the local people who have disgust for this period... more

Definitely one to make time for. Not that well publicised, it is above one of the two McDonald's in Wensclas Square. Make sure you watch the video before you leave as it is really humbling. Remember what your main concerns were in 1989? more

During the 20th century the Czech people suffered mightily at the hands of the various forms of Socialism; firstly, under Hitler's National Socialism and then in the tender clutches of the Russian variety. That they appreciated neither form is evident from the exhibits displayed in this private Museum of Communism, one of the few in existence anywhere. Anyone who still... more
