Traveler reviews
Val Veny
★★★★★2 months agoA very interesting and well-presented museum👍. It gives a strong impression of what life under communism was like, with a good mix of historical context, personal stories, photos, objects, and videos. The exhibition is informative without feeling overwhelming, and it really makes you reflect on that period of history. Definitely worth visiting in Prague, especially if you are interested in modern European history😌.
