Museum of Communism (Na Prikope, Prague 1)
Although there is a slightly kitsch element to the displays here, this new museum hopes to enable visitors to "experience" firsthand 40 years of life under the Communist regime. Some critics assailed the entrepreneurs behind the show for not getting the approval of totalitarian experts, but it is nevertheless proving to be one of the city's more popular modern museums.
 
Jewish Museum (U Stare Skoly, Prague 1)
The museum's collection of Judaic art is perhaps the world's largest, while other exhibits present an integrated picture of the life and history of Jews in Bohemia and Moravia. The collection is spread out around the synagogues of Josefov.
Museum of Decorative Arts (17. Listopadu 2, Prague 1)
The museum has recently spiced up its collection of crystal, porcelain and woodcarving with exhibitions of Czech fashion and other shows.

National Technical Museum (Kostelni 42, Prague 7)
The ultimate how-things-work museum, with exhibitions on mining, telecommunications and transport. Get a guide to show you the coal mine in the basement.

Municipal Transport Museum (Patockova 4, Prague 6)
A celebration of more than 100 years of Prague's transport systems, from horse-drawn carriages to the metro. There are more than 40 vehicles on display.

National Museum (Vaclavske namesti 68, Prague 1)
The National Museum's collections are also spread throughout the country, but the flagship site is the historical and natural history collections housed in the eponymous building at the top of Wenceslas Square.
