What to do and see in Stare Mesto (Old Town), Bohemia: The Best Art Museums
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.

Experience the unexpected. Discover new worlds at Prague's first interactive museum of illusions and trick art, conveniently located on Old Town Square, directly across from the iconic astronomical clock. IAM Prague’s exhibits bring to life historical techniques of creating illusions in art into the 21st century’s selfie and social media age, with a touch of local flair, and encourages guests to touch and interact with all of its exhibits.

We had a bit of spare time in between tours, so we decided to head here - and it was certainly worth the trouble finding this hidden gem! You have to go along the restaurants in front of the clock tower and look for a small sign for the museum, otherwise it will be impossible to find in the busy crowds. The museum itself is rather small, but feels very intimate and the building interiors are as wonderful as the exhibitions. The pieces are great fun to play with, most of them are meant to be photographed and thus make for great Instagram material if you’re so inclined. You’re guided every step of the way to get the most of the exhibiton, which is a big plus. The information texts are worth the read as well. The guides are very friendly, helpful and attentive, and know a bit about the building as well. Also, if you’re not interested in being smushed by the crowds in front of the astronomical clock tower, this place has the best view of the clock, no contest! We spent a good amount of time in there, as we just couldn’t get enough of the illusions, so we went through two times in a row. I’d love to visit again if more art is added in the future!

A beautiful interior of the building sets the mood for a unique artistic experience. I you like modern glass, you will love the pieces exhibited in the glass collection. On another floor is a collection of design items like chairs, typewriter, etc. Yet another floor and an exhibit displaying items owned by people who were sent off to concentration camps and whose belongings were confiscated. There is a picture and a brief blurb about the individuals and the items belonging to them and which have survived.

7. World of Franz Kafka
Overall Ratings
2.0 based on 71 reviews
World of Franz Kafka gives you special insight into a strong metaphysical experience. It's author Miroslav Joudal (1954-2018) felt that people today lack the spiritual dimension of perceiving reality. In Prague it's difficult to find a place to look beyond the horizon of everyday understanding. From the exposition you will feel that our world is chaotic, unknowable, and the whole exhibition just paraphrased it. Just like you do, when you read Kafka's stories. Author of the exhibition was a huge admirer of his work. Descending the spiral staircase, you will find yourself in a different world. World of Franz Kafka is a result of more than 20 years' work of the artist Miroslav Joudal and his friends. The exhibition is divided into three parts. Discover the paradoxes in architecture, absurd paintings and the projection of bizarre events that really happened in Prague. For your better orientation in the exposition we added a voice guide by czech actor Marek Vašut.
