Film Legends Museum of Prague
About This Museum
Tucked away on a bustling street in Prague's New Town, the Film Legends Museum feels less like a hall of relics and more like a vibrant backlot. It has this incredible energy, celebrating not just Hollywood giants but also the profound legacy of Czech cinema that has quietly shaped global film for decades. You can practically feel the ghosts of directors like Miloš Forman in the air. The experience is deeply immersive, pulling you directly into the worlds these artists built rather than keeping you at a distance behind a velvet rope.
Collection Highlights
One moment you're peering into the hauntingly beautiful miniature puppets from Jan Švankmajer's 'Alice', and the next you're standing on the barricades from 'Les Misérables' or face-to-face with an incredibly detailed animatronic alien. The curation brilliantly juxtaposes international blockbusters filmed in the Czech Republic with homegrown surrealist masterpieces, creating a fascinating dialogue.
Visitor Information
It's right on Opletalova street, super easy to get to from the main train station or on a tram. Definitely give yourself a good two hours here; there's a lot to soak in and plenty of interactive elements that are genuinely fun, not just gimmicky.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a stately, renovated building that carries that classic Prague elegance, with high ceilings and grand windows that flood the modern, open-plan exhibition spaces with light.
