Museum of Communism

The Museum of Communism in Prague displays original objects, documents, photographs, and information displays from the period between 1948 and 1989. The exhibition spreads across several floors and covers different aspects of daily life, surveillance, and political control.

The museum opened in 2001 and covers the 40 years of communist rule in Czechoslovakia. It documents the period from the Soviet occupation through the fall of the regime in the late 1980s.

The museum reveals through personal objects and documents how people managed daily life during the decades under communist rule. You see original furniture and belongings that reflect what existence was really like during those years.

A visit requires no special preparation as the exhibition uses clear information displays and visual elements that are easy to follow. You can move through the rooms at your own pace and spend as much time as you wish with the exhibits.

A distinctive feature is the reconstruction of classrooms showing how children were taught during the communist era. These rooms help visitors understand how propaganda was used in education.
