★★★★★a year agoExcellent museum. There are exhibits from a relatively new time. History exhibits of people's lives in the last century. How people lived, what things they used, what their home and life looked like, what things they used. I have a Nokia 3310 and Visa and MasterCard cards, which surprised me the most, since these things are still used by people. There is a separate small floor with Czech politicians and their busts. Overall, I don't regret coming here, it was worth it and I recommend this museum.
