Museum of Communism

Prague

LoginSave

Put together by an American expat and his Czech partner, Prague's priciest private museum tells the story of Czechoslovakia鈥檚 years behind the Iron Curtain in photos, words and a fascinating and varied collection of鈥ell, stuff.

The empty shops, corruption, fear and doublespeak of life in socialist Czechoslovakia are well conveyed, and there are rare photos of the Stalin monument that once stood on Letn谩 terrace 鈥 and its spectacular destruction. Be sure to watch the video about protests leading up to the Velvet Revolution: you鈥檒l never think of it as a pushover again.
