Opened in 1891, the National Museum is more than just a repository of artifacts; it's a symbol of Czech national identity and revival. It has witnessed the creation of Czechoslovakia, Nazi occupation, the Prague Spring, and the Velvet Revolution from its commanding position on Wenceslas Square. The building itself bears the scars of history, including bullet holes from the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion, making it a living monument to the nation's resilience.
Real experiences from real travelers
The building itself is a work of art, even before you see the exhibits. Booking our tickets online was the best decision we made. We walked right past a huge queue and felt like VIPs. The Pantheon room left me speechless. A must-do in Prague!
As a history lover, this museum was paradise. The collections are vast and so well-presented. I especially enjoyed the 20th-century history exhibit. Using a mobile ticket was super easy. So much to see, I could have spent another full day here.
The museum is very grand and impressive. The natural history section with the whale was a highlight for my children. It was a bit crowded, so I am very glad we bought skip-the-line tickets. It saved us at least 45 minutes of waiting outside in the cold.
Unbelievably beautiful museum. The main hall and staircase are like something from a movie. I booked a combined ticket for all the buildings, which was great value. The whole process was smooth and simple through the booking platform. Highly recommend!
A great way to spend an afternoon, especially if the weather isn't great. The exhibits are fascinating and give you a real sense of the country's past. The only downside is there is SO much to see, it can be a little overwhelming. Plan your visit and book ahead.
Wow! Prague is beautiful, and this museum is one of its most precious jewels. I'm so happy I booked my ticket online. The line was so long, but I just showed my phone and went in. The inside is incredible, especially the main hall. Don't miss it!
We decided to visit the museum last minute because of rain, and booking mobile tickets while in a nearby cafe was a lifesaver. The museum exceeded our expectations. The mineral collection is surprisingly fascinating, and the historical building is a masterpiece.
This place is huge and opulent. The skip-the-line ticket we got through a partner site was essential. The exhibits are top-notch, though some descriptions in English were a bit brief. Still, the visual spectacle of the building and the key exhibits make it a 5-star attraction.
Everything you need to know for your journey
We recommend allocating at least 2-3 hours to explore the main Historical Building. If you have a combined ticket for all the buildings, you could easily spend half a day or more. The sheer scale of the collections means you can tailor the length of your visit to your interests.
Most standard tickets purchased through our partners offer flexible entry for the day you book, allowing you to arrive at your convenience. However, some special exhibitions or premium access tickets might have timed entry. Always check the specific details on the ticket you select before booking.
Yes, tickets are available at the box office, but be prepared for potentially very long queues, especially during peak season, weekends, and holidays. We highly recommend booking online in advance to save time and guarantee your entry.
The Prague National Museum has made significant efforts to be accessible. The main Historical Building and the New Building are equipped with ramps and elevators for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues. Accessible restrooms are also available. It's always best to check the museum's official website for the most current accessibility information.
A standard ticket typically grants access to the permanent exhibitions within the main Historical Building. This includes the Pantheon, the natural history collections (like Miracles of Evolution), and historical displays. Combined tickets, which grant access to other museum buildings like the New Building or the Náprstek Museum, are also available and offer excellent value.
While standard entry tickets are for self-guided visits, you can often book guided tours through our partner platforms like GetYourGuide. These tours are led by expert guides who provide deeper insights into the collections. Alternatively, audio guides are usually available for rent at the museum.
Yes, photography for personal, non-commercial use is generally permitted in most areas of the museum. However, the use of flash, tripods, and selfie sticks is strictly prohibited to protect the exhibits and for the comfort of other visitors. Some temporary exhibitions may have specific photography restrictions.
No, in most cases, you do not need to print your tickets. Our partners provide mobile-friendly e-tickets with a QR code. Simply present the ticket on your smartphone at the entrance for scanning. This is both convenient and environmentally friendly.
If your ticket has a specific time slot, it is best to arrive on time. While some venues may allow a small grace period, entry is not guaranteed if you are significantly late. For general admission tickets that are valid for the whole day, you can enter at any time during opening hours.
