The Museum of Communism is the primary attraction of it's kind in Prague, leading visitors through the life of the Czech people during the times of the Soviet Union. Fine displays include original artefacts from the communist era, including pictures, reading materials, military objects and even a reconstructed school classroom. Visitors will gain a good understanding of the way things were during the communist era; the propaganda, and the good and bad times experienced by the Czech people.
A projection room provides a space for regular film screenings, educational activities and occasional lectures
The exhibition has been meticulously compiled from the Museum's comprehensive archive, and combined with a wealth of material obtained from other major collections. With so many old communist sights now removed from the Prague streets, the Museum of Communism stands as an authoritative historical narrative of this 20th century phenomenon.
The Museum presents a vivid account of Communism, focusing generally on Czechoslovakia and particularly on Prague in a variety of areas, such as:
-daily life -politics -history -sport -economics -education -the „arts“ (such as the so-called Socialist Realism movement) -media propaganda -the Peoples’ Militias -the army -the police (including the dreaded secret STB apparatus) -censorship -judiciary and coercive institutions (including the Stalinist show-trials and political labour camps)
