Best Handicraft museum in Czech

I	Ilja Lepilin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The girls at the reception were really nice, but the exhibition was small and dusty. You have to wash these things under the glass as well you know! It's more like a shop, not a museum.
L	LT98 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great experience and definitely worth a visit! It‘s a direct contrast to the busy Karlova street, quiet and actually tasteful. The exhibition was a bit small, but very informative and with beautifully chosen pieces. You also learn to distrust almost all of the tourist area jewelry shops? My personal highlight was the lovely staff who were great conversation and very attentive and helpful with my requests. They greatly inspired my choice of purchase in the shop. I would highly recommend searching here for an authentic piece of Czech garnet jewelry. (Although sometimes I had to force myself to look at the jewelry and not the person showing it to me?)
K	Kelly Robichaud on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ With seeing so many garnet shops in Prague, I was curious about this beautiful stone and was a bit skeptical about buying a piece of jewelry, with it possibly being glass and not a genuine garnet. On Google, I found the Garnet Museum. The museum included a short video, digging for a garnet, and displays. The ladies working there were very knowledgeable about the stone and gave pointers about have to tell the difference between a real vs. fake and also which were Bohemian Garnets vs. those that would be found around the world. I would recommend going here for educational, as well as, curiosity purposes. In the end, I bought a matching ring and earring set for myself and earrings for my daughter.
J	Jules Rodríguez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice to see, and useful to learn (they teach you how to distinguish fake jewellery)!
d	dwarfrus on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place. Museum staff spoke in detail about the Czech garnet and its features. We got a lot of new interesting information. The pearl of the museum is a collection of Czech pomegranate jewelry. Also here you can purchase various modern Czech garnet jewelry for yourself or as a gift. And it will be a real Czech garnet, and not a fake, which are full around and which are sold to most tourists. In general - an interesting place where attentive and friendly employees work, you can learn something new and purchase a unique souvenir from the Czech Republic.
R	Rustam Sydykov on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Must visit before deciding to buy any jewellery. The staff there explained us why we should not buy the garnets from the various tourist traps around and recommended the certified jewellery shops. We actually ended up buying jewellery from the shop museum
F	Franziska Raufer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The museum is very informative and interesting. It’s great to learn something about Bohemian garnet. It’s clean and the jewelry is well-presented. The old jewelry looks amazing :) The information is available in many different languages and the personnel is very friendly and helpful!! The price is fine for the experience you get! I would recommend this museum at any time :)
B	Balázs Gábor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An interesting museum. But lacks of dimension. The collection is very small and disappointing. The advertising is speaking of a big and unique, but in reality there are stores which have a much more collection of jewelry. The presentation of the extraction of the Granat stone is not so detailed and could offer more details and also physical tools. The price not reflect the exhibition and would not recommend. The few jewels which are exposed is beauty but it looks like someone just threw there. I believe a massive change of the exponent and presentation could produce a bigger impact on visitors.
