It wasn't expensive so we paid to walk through. It is about a 30 minute self-guided tour unless you read all the placards. They are all easy, short reads. The place is a little dusty and dated. Still, it is fun to walk around and discover that your mother's "neck massager" had other purposes. Gasp! Make sure to grab a picture in the chair in the front lobby. It will tell you how hot of a lo er you are. All good fun!

I read almost every little note through out and sat down for the short documentary on the Velvet Revolution. Otherwise you could get all the way through in probably 10 mins if you don't. The rather ironic thing of this museum is that it's in the same building as a casino and right next door to a McDonald's. It's about $8 to get in. There is a discount for students. Small gift shop at ticket desk. Bathrooms inside too.

I went to the Museum of Communism as it was open fairly late, until 9pm, and I figured I would…read morelearn some interesting things. I'm terrible at history, but I really enjoy learning about the history of the places I travel to. I don't know too much about communism, so I thought that the Museum of Communism would be the perfect place to learn what exactly is communism, how it started, and how it affected the Czech Republic. Well, it was quite disappointing, and not worth the money. I came out of there still not having a clue about communism and how it started, and it was a small, shabby, run down museum. A little depressing, actually. I'd only recommend going if it's late at night, everything else is closed, you have nothing better to do, and you just happen to be in the area--don't go out of your way to find it. Speaking about finding it, it's not well marked and hard to find. The Lonely Planet book said it was above a McDonald's, and that was extremely helpful. If it weren't for that tip, I would never have found it, despite having the address. To get to the museum, you have to enter through a casino, which is filled with cigarette smoke, and there is no elevator, just stairs, so it's not accessible for people in wheelchairs, or for people who like to breathe.

lots of fun! very educational, good rainy day activity. great way to learn about the city of prague.read more

Let's starts of positive, the way the tour-information system was set up was nice, not considering the actual content it brought. The collection was quite big, going up to 2012(time for an update right?). It had all the products that made Apple famous: the first iPhone, the iPod, PowerBook, Macintosh. What I did really miss was the Lisa I. Too bad, rare item to get anyway, don't blame them. Note said it's 'work in progress', could be there soon. The information provided on the web for the tour was rather minimalistic. Small note when it was released etc. What I did like was that the specs were shown of every device. The museum itself was very small, within a blink of an eye you were in and out. Much more effort could've been put in telling all about your masterpieces instead of putting them all in the same room. TL;DR Mediocre museum with a big collection all stuffed up in the city centre of Prague. If you're a diehard fan who loves Apple products and nods yes to everything with Apple in it, this is your museum!!

Everything up to 2012 is here. From the very first board and apple 1 to the iPads, iPhones and macs. The walls are full of tidbits of info and quotes you get to hear Jobs in several of his presentations and talks. The exhibition is broken down the to the beginning of Apple, through Jobs departure and return. The rout they created also marks graphically those important dates. It adds to the experience and understanding. Apple enthusiasts will love this place. So will design lovers.

A short tour but one worth taking if you're into this kind of stuff…read more I came in somewhat on a whim, just before the start of a new tour. There were four of us, which seemed appropriate for the size of the spaces. Our tour guide was new, but she did a fantastic job nonetheless with giving us cool facts and details about the space. There are lots of cool objects and items. Some authentic, some rebuilt, some just for show. You have to guess which is which before the sand in the hourglass empties or everyone dies. There's even a shop where you can purchase versions of the opium-laden potions of the past. Too bad they're not the same. PS, everyone in our group was wearing all black. It's that kind of place ;)

My companion, a Prague native, had never heard of the place but found it entertaining, while I nd my other companion found it charming.

It is an interactive museum where you can be a part of the illusions and take cool photos. Messes with your mind in a good way! One drawback is that the floor up usually has a perfect view of the Tower when it chimes on the hour and does tricks, but since the tower was closed that day (renovations) plus the 2nd floor exhibit was closed, we got a slight discount. Nevertheless, the first floor of exhibits was still fun!

I'm doing research on gastronomy in Prague so it was a given that I would have to go visit this…read moremuseum--I certainly wasn't disappointed! This museum is a true depository of information. There's literally so much information about food as well as gastronomy that is unique to Prague. The museum exhibit is rather simple--lots of descriptions on fancy posters on the wall and life-size models of old kitchens and utensils. They really have a really impressive collection of old tools, kitchenware, silverware, etc. There're two floors. The bottom floor is focused on the history of gastronomy and what are ancestors consumed. As you go through the exhibit and it brings you to the modern day, it also goes a bit into the history of beer, spirit, and wine production. The upstairs is dedicated to utensils and famous chefs in food. They have a full-size modern kitchen upstairs where you can sample a small glass of mead which is apparently one of the oldest liquors. Student tickets cost 140kc which is a really good deal. I really like the people who work there! They're super nice and I had a really good time chatting with the woman at the front desk. She's lovely as are the owners of the museum. It seems like this place is really struggling to get some business which is a pity because I would be really sad to see this place go. There really is a ton of information and anyone can certainly learn a lot from this place. I would highly recommend! The whole exhibit probably takes about an hour to go through. tldr; great museum with a lot of info and friendly staff, I love it!

We attracted to go inside the store because it had the word "DESIGN" on it. Usually these "DESIGN" stores have unique finds made by local artists, who put a lot of thought put into the merchandise. This artwork is for sale, but it's also like a mini museum. Urban, Graffiti Posters that only cost around ~$20 USD. There's also porcelain skulls, cool looking animal figurines, as well as bowls, dishes, pots and jewelry. I was hesitant to buy something, but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it in good condition if I tried to store it in my luggage. They have a website and they can ship the artwork to you! Sales Associate was kind enough to let me take pictures in the store.
