The exhibition itself is very well designed with correct amount of information splited across the house rooms. A suggestion: in the first two rooms maybe subnumbers can be assigned to the objects so the photography lames can understand the tools mentioned in the audio guide.
2. National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror

5.0 based on 1,001 reviews
This museum tells the story of brave Czech paratroopers who killed SS-Obergrupenführer Reinhard Heydrich in the Operation Anthropoid. Jan Kubiš and Josef Gabčík escaped to this church and the crypt under the church together with five more paratroopers and 20 days later they died here in battle against 700 Nazi soldiers.

This museum is a remembrance and memorial to the Czech resistance paratroopers, who during WWII, took part in a secret undercover plan to assassinate Hitler's favorite General, Reinhard Heydrich, head of the dreaded SS. These men, I believe there were seven, infiltrated behind the lines back into Prague where they hid out in the basement Crypt of the St Cyril Church. Eventually most most died during a ferocious fire-fight with the German army but they were responsible for Heydrich's death, and it's all a very interesting historical account of a little known event during WWII.

Visit our small museum of Kutná Hora chocolate factory Koukol&Michera (also called Lidka), which used to be one of the most famous in Europe. Taste the best chocolates from the chocolate manufactury - made with love from cocoa beans in the Czech Republic, winners of Academy of Chocolate. Experience great atmosphere!

The chocolate was high quality, delicious, and came in milk, dark of many varieties, and some white. The owner was very friendly and had lots of tasty samples for us to try. Don’t miss the hot chocolate!

It's a hidden gem in Prague for all film lovers - the first of its kind in the Czech Republic.

Thanks to interactive exhibits everyone across different generations can find out how film works and learn more about its history. Come and see film differently! All museum texts are available in English, German and Russian. We all speak Czech and English, but we will find a way to show you around the museum no matter what language you speak!

I recently got the chance to visit NaFilM again in its new and improved location near the Franciscan gardens in the centre of Prague. Really, it is incredible to see what they have been able to do - the place is massive (about double the size of the old location, over 2 floors) and filled with unique, interactive exhibits designed to teach you about film. Moreover, it is suitable for both children and adults - it is an absolute must visit if you are in Prague. The museum have extended its offerings considerably, with new things to play with and discover! I especially enjoyed the sound editing studio - set up as a real enclosed room within the museum, you can record your own soundtracks to a variety of films using purpose built instruments - its a lot of fun to explore different ways the make the sound effects! There is also the new 'Purkyne's Laboratory', where you get to explore the various optical illusions studied by Czech scientist Jan Purkyne through a set of spinning discs and a phone call with Mr Purkyne himself! What's more, once you have been introduced to the concepts, you can then play with the discs yourself, creating your own illusions, which is really cool. There are also two small cinemas where you can see some Czech short films that you would never get to see anywhere else - a mix of quirky animated films and expressive black and white films from the avant garde era. The entire exhibition is in English and in Czech, with very friendly people speaking English as well. Can't wait to see what they add next!

We went as a couple of adults and had a great time - admiring the artistry and hard work to build these huge lego models. Some of them are interactive too and they're fun to play around with. Brings out the inner child! A tad expensive but good fun for an hour or so.
7. Gallery of Steel Figures
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 847 reviews
Gallery of Steel Figures is an interactive and original exhibition in the centre of Prague. Our steel figures are inspired by characters from cartoons, sci-fi, fantasy, fairytales, pop culture as well as animals and hits from the automotive world. You can touch, climb in and sit on all the figurines and of course, take pictures with your favourite superheroes or childhood friends. And the good part is, all exhibits are made from recycled steel parts! Which means, we managed to make scrap and metal waste into art! We exhibit over 100 figures on 1200 m² and two floors in a beautiful art noveau building in the historical centre of Prague. If you get tired, you can rest at our café on the 1st floor and have a cup of coffee, homemade lemonade or a delicious fresh pizza. We also offer a large selection of original souvenirs for you to bring back home. We hope to welcome you soon!

This is a really fun, hands-on gallery of life sized metal sculptures including cars, bikes, movie and cartoon characters. They let you sit and climb and pose with everything including the Iron Throne and Thor’s hammer. This is definitely the most fun I’ve had in a gallery maybe ever. I’d imagine kids would love this.
8. Ceske Muzeum Stribra

Hradek mentioned as early as 1312, is a fortified castle-palace of the town type. Nowadays it is the seat of the main exposition of the Czech Museum of Silver. The museum offers two tours and the main attraction is a visit to an authentic medieval silver mine.
Reviewed By RHtravels - Rocky Hill, United States
We enjoyed learning about the history of silver mining in Kutna Hora and the difficult job that miners had. The tour was informative and an excellent example of the claustrophobic conditions that the miners had to endure. I am definitely glad that they outfitted us with helmets since I whacked my head several times during the tour.

We spent 6+ hours ... seriously ...exploring this fabulous museum. Each section was set out chronologically and kept us captivated with interesting displays that told the story of technology based on specific themes. Whilst mainly Czech focussed, there were plenty of english translations. Our first 2 hours were spent on the main floor; Time, Chemistry, Photography and a special exhibition. Then into the four storey Transport section where there were cars, trains, planes, motorbikes and bicycles. This was all before we could look at smaller exhibits on the 3 floors above and below the main entry level. There was also one section set up for kids to build things and play. Whilst I was particularly impressed with both the Time & Chemistry sections and how each related to everyday life in the past and present, I think whoever thought up and designed the layout for the entire collection has done an amazing job. On a practical level there are lifts to most sections and a restaurant as well. Lucky too that the museum was open until 18:00. I would highly recommend a visit to this museum for those who like to know how things work and how technology has evolved.
10. Mala Pevnost (Small Fortress)

Reviewed By K8097RBgeorger
Built as part of a military citadel with a walled garrison town long before WWII. Includes thick earthen bermed walls, moats and 22 miles of catacombs. Was used as a Nazi concentration camp. Extreme overcrowding and cruelty in the camp and nearby Jewish ghetto resulted in 33,000 deaths. Approximately 88,000 were sent from this location to Auschwitz and other extermination camps. Our visit was led by very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We toured a museum detailing the history and use of this complex. There were items written and composed by the inmates. The guides emphasized to us how humanity must never forget the atrocities perpetrated here. We got to stand in the prisoner barracks, confinement cells, and isolation cells. We also got to walk through some of the underground tunnels used by the guards. Most chilling was the gallows where prisoners were routinely hung. While Jews lived in squalor and disease the guards had a cinema, pool and garden. According to our guide, there were 28 guards to 12,000 Jewish prisoners in this part of the complex. May we never forget.
