The Cold War Museum, Cold War Museum under Hotel Jalta, Wenceslas Square, Prague, Czech Republic
The underground museum occupies a former nuclear fallout shelter spanning ten meters beneath the Hotel Jalta with exhibits showing Cold War artifacts.
Built in 1953, the shelter served as a secret police headquarters until 1989, where officers monitored Western hotel guests using surveillance equipment.
The museum presents Communist-era artifacts, including an original Public Security office with a T100 teleprinter and National Security Corps uniforms.
Guided tours operate Monday through Friday from 11:00 to 17:20, with extended hours until 19:00 on weekends, at 400 CZK for adults.
The nuclear bunker contained facilities to sustain 150 people for two days, equipped with specialized ventilation systems and monitoring equipment.
