Museum of Communism

What people say

"On an area of ​​almost 1,500 m2, the visitor will feel the authentic atmosphere of the time, which is underlined by short videos, posters and original exhibits. The exhibition includes interestingly crafted installations, thanks to which you can walk through examples of a period percussionist's workshop, a school classroom, a children's room or a room where interrogations took place. Interesting objects that illustrate everyday life under socialism were also selected from the depository. All of this is described on 62 panels divided into circuits, which are accompanied by a large number of original photographs from the archive of ČTK, the Archive of the Security Forces, the PTP Union and from the archives of leading Czech photographers."

"The Museum of Communism offers a stark and poignant look at life behind the Iron Curtain. It's more than just a collection of artifacts; it's a journey into a different era. From everyday consumer products to a chillingly authentic reconstructed interrogation room, the museum paints a vivid picture of life during the communist era. It's a stark reminder of a not-so-distant past and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit."
"As a museum fanatic, this museum offered a wide display of artifacts and learning. Providing a perspective of the history of Czechia and it's experience with communism, this museum is enlightening into the effects of communism on community and country. A large museum, give yourself time to work through the multitude of rooms. "
