10 Specialty Museums in Nove Mesto (New Town) That You Shouldn't Miss
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

It's a hidden gem in Prague for all film lovers - the first of its kind in the Czech Republic.

I recently got the chance to visit NaFilM again in its new and improved location near the Franciscan gardens in the centre of Prague. Really, it is incredible to see what they have been able to do - the place is massive (about double the size of the old location, over 2 floors) and filled with unique, interactive exhibits designed to teach you about film. Moreover, it is suitable for both children and adults - it is an absolute must visit if you are in Prague. The museum have extended its offerings considerably, with new things to play with and discover! I especially enjoyed the sound editing studio - set up as a real enclosed room within the museum, you can record your own soundtracks to a variety of films using purpose built instruments - its a lot of fun to explore different ways the make the sound effects! There is also the new 'Purkyne's Laboratory', where you get to explore the various optical illusions studied by Czech scientist Jan Purkyne through a set of spinning discs and a phone call with Mr Purkyne himself! What's more, once you have been introduced to the concepts, you can then play with the discs yourself, creating your own illusions, which is really cool. There are also two small cinemas where you can see some Czech short films that you would never get to see anywhere else - a mix of quirky animated films and expressive black and white films from the avant garde era. The entire exhibition is in English and in Czech, with very friendly people speaking English as well. Can't wait to see what they add next!

We went as a couple of adults and had a great time - admiring the artistry and hard work to build these huge lego models. Some of them are interactive too and they're fun to play around with. Brings out the inner child! A tad expensive but good fun for an hour or so.

Gallery of Steel Figures is an interactive and original exhibition in the centre of Prague.

You can touch, climb in and sit on all the figurines and of course, take pictures with your favourite superheroes or childhood friends. And the good part is, all exhibits are made from recycled steel parts! Which means, we managed to make scrap and metal waste into art! We exhibit over 100 figures on 1200 m² and two floors in a beautiful art noveau building in the historical centre of Prague. If you get tired, you can rest at our café on the 1st floor and have a cup of coffee, homemade lemonade or a delicious fresh pizza.

This is a really fun, hands-on gallery of life sized metal sculptures including cars, bikes, movie and cartoon characters. They let you sit and climb and pose with everything including the Iron Throne and Thor’s hammer. This is definitely the most fun I’ve had in a gallery maybe ever. I’d imagine kids would love this.

7. Magic Garnet Museum

Great place, if you want to buy Czech garnets. Very nice memento from Prague. Over the years I have accumulated a nice collection, bought few antique pieces. This is a lovely shop worth visiting and learning about the stones. I was delighted to see the pieces I have inherited or purchased myself over the years on display. Because a lot of the designs are traditional. Years ago, fancy pins were fashionable. Crosses, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings. Matching sets. Anyway, I am not buying anymore, but I have enjoyed the brief visit. I recommend you check it out. Buying local is a good thing....

I toured the Cold War Museum and had the most amazing guide - David! He is extremely knowledgeable about the time period - key politicians, the political climate in (Czechoslovakia) and surrounding countries, and every day life for people living in Prague at that time. I grew up in the US during the 80's and there was always the specter of nuclear war w Russia. I remember stories of high profile people defecting. But-until visiting this museum, I just didn't have a good appreciation for life under the 'cruel star' of communism. The collection is fascinating - I especially loved seeing the spy equipment that was used at the time that enabled 'Big Brother' to listen in on conversations of hotel guests (the bunker was built below the hotel Jalta, as mentioned). Just fascinating! Prague is full of history - and I highly recommend this museum to enrich your visit. Note to David-I found that Amazon has the book "Under a Cruel Star". Also, as we discussed - check out Anne Applebaum - Iron Curtain! Thank you so much for a great tour!!

MUSEUM of SENSES is an experience that tackles your senses so you are inspired to discover more and therefore, feel more. Live the unimaginable, experience a world of sensations, mind blowing optical illusions and test your senses at an extraordinary museum.
