⭐ Visitor Impressions • A Local Guide review said: “The Prague branch is … the largest private collection … If your kid loves Lego they will love this”   • Visitors also remark on the passion of the curators and the impressive creative scale of the free‑hand models — beyond standard...

I visited the Museum of Bricks in Prague recently and, to be honest, it left me a bit underwhelmed. While it does indeed have a fair amount of LEGO on display (which will please some fans), the overall experience felt rather modest and lacking in wow-factor.

What works: • Yes, there are quite a few LEGO sets and models, including themed sections (e.g., some scenes from familiar universes) so if you already like bricks, there is something to see.  • It is located fairly centrally in Prague, which makes it convenient to drop in. 

What didn’t quite work / what to temper expectations: • The space is small. Some reviewers mention it’s much smaller than expected for a “museum” of this kind.  • The presentation can feel a little like walking through a collection of display cabinets rather than a high-end immersive exhibition. One reviewer said: “cabinet after crowded cabinet of assembled LEGO sets … pretty much like going round a friend’s house and seeing their collection in Ikea cabinets.”  • Information / storytelling is fairly minimal. If you’re hoping for deep context, historical background, big interactive installations — you might be disappointed.  • For general visitors rather than LEGO fans, the value may drop: some say it’s “not worth a special trip” but okay if you happen to be nearby. 

In summary: If you are a casual tourist in Prague and happen to walk by, the museum might be a nice diversion. But if you’re expecting a major attraction with blockbuster experiences and large-scale immersive exhibits, this likely won’t hit that mark. It’s decent, but nothing...

The experience was awful! Only suitable for adults, not at all kids’ friendly. And I will explain why. We visited the place with our baby boy with a stroller, so the entrance for him was free but we had to pay 13 euros per person which was quite high for a private museum. Also we had to carry ourselves the stroller in the basement since this is where the museum starts (the upper part is used like a Lego store). So a) all the museum space is pretty much narrow, not enough space to navigate, carrying backpacks will make it tough to cross the corridors without harassing the others, the atmosphere is quite dry, did not feel like there was too much oxygen inside and for those with a claustrophobia will be a challenge, also for us carrying a baby and stroller we left the stroller in the entrance = basement, since there no space provided in the ground floor and then it was impossible to go with the boy around to all corridors and floors and b) there is no provision in the wc for proper facilities for minors, the 2 toilets were too small not even an adult could move around - fit it and there was nothing provisioned for the little ones neither a changing furniture for babies / small children nor hand washing facilities properly designed for kids, which you get to other places in Prague like museums or even...
