When I first started exploring the best museums in Prague during my studies at Charles University, my entire perspective on the city shifted. Instead of chasing tourists at the Astronomical Clock with my heavy DSLR, I spent dozens of hours in the quiet halls of the Trade Fair Palace<\/strong>. I was hunting for the right angles<\/a>, studying how light played across sculptures, and soaking in a calm that no outdoor stroll could match. I had a similar relationship with the Mucha Museum \u2014 Art Nouveau lines fascinated me so much that I spent more time there than in the university library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

View from Letn\u00e1 Park over Prague’s bridges \u2014 the National Technical Museum and Agriculture Museum are just a short walk from here<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These days, I return to Prague with my husband Luk\u00e1\u0161 and our two-year-old son Jon\u00e1\u0161. Seeing Jon\u00e1\u0161’s eyes light up at everything new has given my museum adventures a completely different dimension. Suddenly I’m not just evaluating curatorial intent \u2014 I’m also checking whether you can safely manoeuvre a pushchair between exhibits<\/strong> and where the nearest changing table is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, Prague still surprises me. I remember a time when the National Museum’s display cases were gathering dust and nobody looked back, but today it’s a completely different story. Traditional institutions have been modernised<\/strong> and the newer ones aren’t afraid to provoke. Whether you’re after raw testimonies from the 20th century or want to shelter from the rain among Old Masters’ canvases, you’ve got plenty to choose from. Local curators have finally understood that visitors want interaction and context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what’s in store? A few giants you’ll recognise from guidebooks, a few places that don’t appear in any guidebook, and one museum that Jon\u00e1\u0161 refused to leave for an entire afternoon. \ud83d\ude04 We’ll also look at the powerful stories told at the Museum of Communism in Prague<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
