Ticket to Museum of Communism in Prague

Step into a different world in the heart of Prague — the Museum of Communism offers a powerful, immersive window into life under a totalitarian regime. From everyday hardships to secret police fear, propaganda, and resistance, the exhibits don’t just tell history — they make you feel it. Spread across nearly 1,500 m², with original artifacts, chilling archival photos, recreated spaces, and moving films, it’s not just a museum; it’s a reminder of what freedom means.

  Trace the arc of communism in Czechoslovakia (1948–1989) from hopeful slogans and utopian promises to control, censorship, repression, and finally, revolution.

  Explore mock-ups of a worker’s workshop, school classroom, child’s bedroom, and interrogation room to see how ideology shaped even the most intimate corners of daily life.

• Propaganda, Posters & Power
  Encounter original propaganda posters, media displays, uniforms, photographs, and voices of dissent. Learn how language and imagery were used as tools of persuasion and control.

• The StB & Repression
  Understand the role of secret police, surveillance, show trials, labour camps, and the instruments of fear that kept the regime in check.

• The Velvet Revolution
  End your visit with the story of how communism in Czechoslovakia fell — from massive protests to regime change. A moving film displays the voices and images of those who resisted.

• Original Photographs & Archives
  Over 60 panels richly illustrated with archival photos (from ČTK, State Security Archive, etc.) and everyday objects — from phones and chocolate boxes to old-telephones with no service.
