    One of the best museums I ever visited. All about the military history of the country. Going from the middle ages up until the most recent times. Such a diversity. Lots of audio throughout every room. Many videos to watch and also interactive activities for kids, and even for adults. So much detail went into this museum. All information in both Czech as in English, very detailed descriptions. The staff is very friendly, welcomed me directly when I entered the building. Free entrance. Would highly recommend everyone to go here. You are definitely in for a great experience.

    I was here in June. The museum is wonderful and detailed; admission is free, and you can also store your luggage in completely free lockers. The staff were very kind and helpful, even though some didn't speak English. All in all, I would highly recommend this museum to any new tourist (especially history enthusiasts). 5 stars for everything!!!
