Muzeum Karla Zemana

Interesting museum but catered towards kids 12 and under. There were interactive scenes however it didn't make up for the quality of the museum. We wondered though it in less than 20 minutes.

We enjoyed the museum so much. Plenty of hands on experiences for the little one and lots of info and unknown insights for us. Definitely a must visit in Prague.

Near the Charles Bridge there is a unique museum. It's the Karel Zeman Museum (Muzeum Karla Zemana) is on 3 of Saská street, Praha 1 - Malá Strana, Czech Republic. This interactive exhibition presents the life's work of the genius creator Karel Zeman and his cinematic tricks that made Czech cinematography famous.The exhibition presents the life work of world-renowned filmmaker Karel Zeman and his cinematic special effects that made Czech cinematography famous. It maps Zeman’s creative work from the first animated and puppet films in the 1940s to the work of his last creative period. A substantial part of the exhibition is devoted to his most essential films - Journey to the Beginning of Time, Jules Verne, and Baron Munchausen. The museum is unique because of its playful concept - it gives you the opportunity to participate and try special effect practices that Karel Zeman used in his films using on your own cameras and camcorders. The exhibition is conceived as film sets and studios with small studios where you can walk through and film in action.Opening hours:- January – December: Whole week from 10:00 – 19:00Entrance fee:- Basic: 250 CZK- Reduced: 160 CZK- Family: 490 CZK

Expensive for what there is there. I did like the displays they had and it would be good for kids but it was very small for the price.

Very nice museum. A lot of reading if you like that, but also many videos and interactive activities to keep everyone interested. Great for kids and also fot young adults who like being silly.

Very nice small private museum. Unlike, the other private museums that feel like tourist traps this one is not it. We enjoyed the detailed history of the movie making process for Karel Zeman. After we left we looked up a few of his movies and watched one that night. Very nice museum.

Nice and informative Museum. Yet, more for czech visitors. Nevertheless the possibilities for Interactions are very appealing

We really enjoyed this quirky museum about a great Czech movie director who was a pioneer for special effects. There are some really fun interactive opportunities. A good place to spend an hour before going for dinner, as it is open until 7pm.

Semi-hands on museum that is better for older kids (teenage years) and adults. The exhibits showed the creativity Zeman used to create special effects in early film. It was quite interesting.
