Went today with a family of 4. 2 adults and 2 children. We had 1 push chair with us - first thing I noticed that the wheelchair access was locked, so I just lifted up the push chair by my hands, didn't think much of it. I did notice a lot of notices stating that toilets in the museum are not public toilets and are for museum visitors only. As we were approaching ticket desk, my wife and 3 year old daughter were making their way to the loo and without greeting were questioned about where they were going. At that point, being bilingual I explained to the cashier that we are about to buy tickets - I had my other child in push chair in clear view of the cashier in excess of 15 minutes with no other customers in sight. Once we made our way to the exposition (animals of Moravia) we were told we can't bring push chair in and that there was no step free access to this part of museum. Naturally, we got quite upset, and the lady in charge of the section told us that it's all written down in black and white in her notes. We ended up splitting the party because my daughter was very upset by the outlook of being unable to see the animals. Horrendous experience, nevermind the fact that the exhibition is extremely out of date, still referring to the Czech Republic as ČSSR - an abbreviation for its time in communism era, a name the country has not been know for for nearly 30 years!!!! Out of date exhibition with out of date mentality. Perhaps investing less to tell people to piss elsewhere they should invest in up to date notices when in comes to the name of the country. Makes you look like bunch of idiots in the eyes of foreign tourists. I'd like a response to this please if anyone actually cares about the opinions of the public, but I don't...
Read moreI highly recommend visiting this museum. It consists of three floors, there is an elevator. Each floor has the appearance of a spiral, which allows you to gradually examine all the exhibits. I advise you to start from the first floor and move up, then you can move according to the chronological sequence. On the first floor there is a small separate section with the history of the development of comics. By the way, children will also be very interested, there is a TV that broadcasts cartoons, a board where you can draw your comic and a lot of props (wigs, hats, toy weapons). Also on the first floor fossils, dinosaurs and the process of formation of the Earth are shown. As well on the first floor there is an incredible collection of crystals and minerals, it was quite cool to see the countries of extraction and areas of application, as well as the crystal structure. On the second floor, it was possible to follow the development of life in the territory of Southern Morava, from the first tools to the Middle Ages. On the third floor, are already the 19th and 20th centuries, the Second World War and the Prague Spring. There are a lot of interactive exhibits absolutely everywhere, which increases curiosity and understanding of what is seen. The staff is also very pleasant, they speak Czech, English and Russian. You can buy inexpensive souvenirs at the cash desk. The photo below shows the view from the window...
