Traveler reviews
Nikolai Mannsfeld
★★★★★a month agoPretty cool history about Karel Zeman on how he made films to inspire other people and the Czech Republic. The staff were nice and there were a lot of cool interactive things to do, even though it was a short exhibition. The film your own movie at the end was the most fun and favorite part of the exhibit, as well as some other hands-on experiences they offered throughout as well. All in all, it was pretty fun and interesting to learn and highly recommend checking it out.

★★★★★3 months agoIt is one of the best experiences I had in Prague and I highly recommend it. It is an interactive museum in which you get to learn about the special effects in the old movies. I got the student ticket for a reduced price 🎫 Before going there make sure that ⚠️ ■ your phone is charged. ■ It is preferred to be there as a group for trying some of the movies tricks that requires the help of several individuals. ■ take a photo / video of everything even if it will be sent to your email because some of the setups failed to have our email sent.
