Museum of Communism (Muzeum Komunismu)
Ironically located next door to a casino and above a McDonald's,
the Museum of Communism is dedicated to presenting an account of
the post World War II Communist regime in Czechoslovakia and Prague
in particular. It offers an eye-opening look at life behind the
Iron Curtain and leads visitors through the life of the Czech
people during the times of the Soviet Union. With genuine artefacts
on display, informative text, multimedia presentations and even a
reconstructed classroom, the museum makes sure the memory is kept
alive of what it brands 'Communism - the Dream, the Reality, and
the Nightmare'.
Information & Facts
Address
Admission
Adults: CZK180; Concessions available.
Language
Czech is the official language but English and German are
also widely spoken.
Money
The official currency is the Czech crown, locally known as the
Koruna (CZK), which is divided into 100 haler. Most credit cards
including American Express, Diners Club, Visa and MasterCard are
accepted, but it is best to have cash handy when travelling away
from Prague and the main tourist centres. Travellers cheques and
foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
some hotels; commission is highest in hotels. Banks are closed on
weekends. ATMs (known as 'bankomats') are becoming more common in
Prague and are probably the best way to obtain local currency at a
good rate and without commission. The Czech Republic is still cheap
compared to the rest of Europe, though the gap is closing.
