Planning

Historical Context

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.

Photography Tips

  • Use the natural light from the large windows for beautiful indoor shots
  • The grand staircase and the Pantheon are the most photogenic spots; be patient to get a shot without crowds
  • Focus on architectural details like ceiling frescoes, columns, and railings for unique compositions
  • A wide-angle lens is perfect for capturing the scale of the main halls.

Insider Tips

  • Start your visit from the top floor and work your way down to avoid the biggest crowds
  • Don't miss the stunning view of Wenceslas Square from the windows on the upper floors
  • Check the museum's official website for any temporary exhibitions that might be on during your visit, as these are often world-class
  • The cloakroom is free of charge, so make use of it for a more comfortable visit.

Absolutely Breathtaking!

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!

A Journey Through Czech History

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.

Impressive Architecture and Collection

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.

Magnifique!

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!

Well Worth the Visit

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.

Stunning Museum, Easy Access

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!

Perfect for a Rainy Day

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.

A Grand Experience

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.
