Czech Museum of Cubism — Attraction in Prague

The museum wasn't horrible but I also would not recommend it to anyone unless you are really into Czech cubism. The exhibits were on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors. We took the stairs to the second floor and were about to open the door when an employee told us we couldn't go in. She kept insisting that we had to start at the 4th floor (which wasn't even cubism; it was a separate temporary exhibit). To satisfy her we started going up the stairs to the next floor (so we could see the cool stair case) when she insisted that we had to take the elevator. We stalled a few moments until she left and we went inside the exhibit, where we were again denied access and told to start at the 4th floor. We were a little grumpy that our visit was so strictly managed (sort of like a throwback to communist times haha) but we continued on. The exhibits were very small and we were not very impressed, even though these were the most famous artists' works. That being said, we are not very familiar with cubism and perhaps some would find it more interesting. However you'd hope that a museum would do a better job at trying to teach and inform people who are less familiar with the subject matter. At least it only cost a few...

It is a very small museum. That might be why some of the reviews below didn't appreciate it. However, it was a revelation in the sence that you don't get to see many pieces of cubistic furniture, wallpaper, captain desks, even cake moulds, posters of ongoing excibitions and illustrations of the famous books like a portrait of Mitya, a boy from Karamazovs brothers by Dostoyevsky, such a delicate character to be worked on! It helps to see cubism as a whole style of life that, as they say in the information boards, was very important, influentual, in Prague at the beginning of the last century. Geometry, as science, but also art, making way into people life at the time. Inspiring! You can also find a list and a map of places to observe cubistic buildings, to continue on cubism after you finished here. Pay attention to the cubistic signs if you go to the toilet. I realy enjoyed spending time in the cafe on the 1st floor, with live piano. It is a beautiful and relaxing place. See my...

It's interesting to get an idea about cubism, specially on the architectural and interior design aspects buy also on the limits of its practicality. The building itself is the fist architecture piece done in the cubism style, as far as I understood. At the fist level there is the original cafe design in cubism style as well. The visit starts from the 4th floor and then go down.

If you get the ticket for the Museum of decorative arts (the one next to the old Jewish cemetery), this cubism museum is included as well, which is very nice. To pay a full ticket just for the cubism museum would be too much for me (10 euro), as there is not that much too see here unless you are a diehard fan of cubism.

The staff was very nice, though, and very passionate about cubism that they would want to show you around and point out some of the important parts of...
