Museum of Communism, Prague

Museum code of ethics 4.2: Museums should ensure that information they present in displays and exhibitions is well founded, accurate and gives appropriate consideration to represented groups and core beliefs. The Museum of Communism, although including some interesting pieces from the communist period, in reality consisted simply of walls upon walls of text that so clearly advocated an anti-communist bias. Although many in this area of the world have feelings of resentment toward communism, I expected more from a Museum. I was not surprised to read the founder of this museum was an American businessman. Be careful when reading the information presented if you choose to visit.

I didn’t think I would have a good time here, I thought it was going to be boring and a waste of time. I just went because of my friend who had been there before and told me it was good. When we arrived I was surprised by how clean and well maintained everything looked. I liked how the layout flowed and it was extremely interactive which kept me engaged. A must see if you are in the area, money well spent! You can choose how fast or slow you want to walk through the exhibits which is something I liked. 10 out of 10!
