Museums in Prague

Museums in Prague are as varied as the city itself, ranging from grand historical collections to hands-on, interactive spaces built for curious visitors of every age. When it comes to what to see in Prague, a great museum in Prague is a perfect place to start, and one of the most popular and modern is the Mozart Interactive Museum, right on Old Town Square opposite the Astronomical Clock. This two-floor tribute to the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lets you play the harpsichord as taught by his father Leopold, become a conductor for a moment and conduct the Prague premiere of Don Giovanni, entertain a virtual Empress Maria Theresa, and step into an AI photo booth in period style, with musicological and historical texts throughout for anyone who wants to dig deeper into the composer's visits to Prague and his famous words, "My Praguers understand me." While in the Old Town Square, we recommend visiting the Prague Old Town Hall Tower and admiring the Astronomical Clock from the outside or climbing up the tower for some gorgeous views of the Czech capital. For a concert, you can go to the Tyn Church or the St. Nicholas Church right on the square. 

Galleries in Prague

Prague is also home to a rich mix of galleries and multimedia exhibitions that go beyond the traditional collection of paintings on a wall. Many of the museums and galleries in Prague lean into experience and storytelling, pairing local history and craft with tastings, sound, and immersive visuals. The Slivovitz Museum, in the Lesser Town just a short walk from Charles Bridge, is a good example: an interactive tour through the history of slivovitz, the plum brandy so tied to Bohemian and Moravian identity it's often called the national spirit, ending with a tasting of R. JELÍNEK products and Wallachian finger food at the museum's own bar. A few minutes away by metro, near Náměstí Republiky, the History and Mystery of Prague (Spiritual Prague Exhibition) brings the city's medieval floods, plague years and the Thirty Years' War to life through sound, animation and immersive blue light at the historic Hybernia Theatre, built on the site of a monastery founded by Charles IV. These are just two of the galleries in Prague worth seeking out among the city's wider attractions in Prague, and our selection continues to grow as we add more of Prague's best museums and galleries to explore.
