Top 10 Specialty Museums in Malá Strana (Little Quarter), Bohemia
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.

3. Ceske Muzeum Hudby
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 283 reviews
The new seat of the Czech Museum of Music is located in the former Baroque church of St. Mary Magdalene at Lesser Side, built in the 17th Century according to the proposal of Francesco Caratti. The church was gradually rebuilt after the dissolution of the Dominican Monastery in 1783. Among other things, it served as a Police barracks and archive. The unusual symbiosis of the early Baroque church architecture with the classicist adjustment of usage and newly finished reconstruction of the Museum offers visitors a detail of an impressive combination of monumentality.

Several absolute winners for me: 1. Free to play piano in the main hall. Live/ad hoc/spontaneous art is great. 2. Main hall accoustic is great. I'd love to sing there. Staff let us enjoy the building! 3. Wonderful exhibit on folk music really piqued my interest. 4. Musical steps - musical + physical + novelty was very fun. 5. As a long-time cautious observer of the theremin, enjoyed failing to play my 1st instrument. Harder than it looks! 6. Wonderful collection of early instruments and well presented with contextual descriptions. The contrast of early and new(er) was delightful.

Just at the foot of the Charles Bridge you can find the gem dedicated to the great renowned a visionary Czech filmmaker Karel Zeman. The museum is not intended just for kids but also for old movies lovers and old classic special effects. It maps his complete work and reveals the tricks he used. You are welcome to have hands on. he museum is an interactive and playful place, you can try to ride on a flying machine. The museum is quite small, so expect to spend 45 -60 min. there, the only negative point I have is the high entrance fee of 250 CZK for this museum is quite high entrance fee for the Czech standard 250 CZK, the nearly same as to the Czech national museum.

A must, very close to the Charles Bridge, many restaurants, and the big park full of gooses. Museum Kampa is a small museum where in a bit more than an hour you could see amazing paintings and czech works and many others.

Multimedia exhibit of Kafka memorabilia that includes photographs and original letters.

How lovely to walk along some of the streets in Prague, described (but not always named) in Kafka's writings. I felt that I already knew some of the streets in Prague from his descriptions. The museum places a good emphasis on his writings, with photographs, historical and geographical contexts presented to help one get under the skin of Kafka's literature. It was helpful to see how he was shaped by his family and childhood, and this was well presented in the museum. I spent an enjoyable morning in the museum and left feeling that I'd spent my time well, so around 3 hours would suffice for most visitors. Quite a good museum shop, although sadly not all his publications were available as English translations. If you haven't read any of Kafka's works, this museum will provide insight into his works and should spur you on to try some of his short stories or novels. If you've already read some of his work, this museum adds a further dimension to his work and to the man himself. Enjoy!
