There is an awful lot of history to cover, and they do a good job hitting highlights and providing depth on certain topics. Really good amount of meaningful artifacts from all eras. Be sure to make the trek to the 20th Century history exhibit in the New Building, it's included in admission.
There was a temporary exhibit, fairly simple but modern, on Bedrich Smetana, a composer I had only vaguely heard of but left appreciating much more.
Considering the number of people at the museum, very few seemed to find their way up to the cupola. It's not super well labeled: just take any elevator to the top, great view (though Wenceslas Square will be a construction zone for a while).
