About
Datos rápidos: Stepping inside feels like entering a treasure trove of natural history, art, and culture that invites curious minds to explore centuries of knowledge. Visitors often marvel at the grand staircase adorned with ornate paintings, setting an unforgettable tone for the journey through time and creativity.
Destacados: Beneath its grand neo-Renaissance façade, a vaulted hall reveals a collection of over 10 million objects, including a giant dinosaur skeleton that stands a remarkable 9 meters tall. Every hour, the museum's historic ceiling clock performs a tiny puppet show called the 'Prague Orloj,' which has been charming visitors with its mechanical artistry since the late 19th century.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the grand staircase and multiple floors involve a lot of stairs.
- Head to the grand staircase and upper gallery early for the best photos without crowds.
- Drop bags in the cloakroom or lockers to move freely; large backpacks may not be allowed in some exhibits.
- If short on time, prioritize the natural history and national history halls and skip smaller temporary displays.
