About Národní muzeum
V roce 1826 zakoupili staropražský dům U Halánků s pivovarem a vinopalnou manželé Fingerhutovi, aby jej pak jejich mladší syn Vojtěch za několik let proslavil doslova po celém světě. Vojta Náprstek založil muzeum v roce 1873 jako České průmyslové muzeum a stal se známým mecenášem a propagátorem nových myšlenek a technologií. Jeho láska k orientálním vědám a podpora cestovatelů jako Emila Holuba, Josefa Kořenského, Enriqua Stanko Vráze a dalších, mu přinesla početné dary, které nakonec změnily charakter muzea z průmyslového na národopisné.
Po roce 1944 došlo k připojení k Národnímu muzeu a rozdělení sbírek tak, aby se orientovaly pouze na mimoevropská etnika a jejich kultury. I dnes má muzeum své mecenáše a dárce, kteří tak navazují na Náprstkův odkaz a obohacují jeho sbírkový fond. Pomáhají nejen posouvat hranice poznání, ale zároveň udržují místo výjimečného setkávání s neopakovatelným geniem loci. Sbírky muzea jsou nesmírně bohaté a jen velmi malá část je vystavena.
V pražském domě U Halánků je návštěvníkům k dispozici rovněž veřejná knihovna, která nenabízí jen knihy a periodika, ale i další kolekce, z nichž mnohé založil již Vojta Náprstek. Je to sbírka historických fotografií, stereoskopických obrázků, dobové grafiky či výstřižkových knih. K dispozici jsou rovněž rozsáhlé archivy rodiny Náprstkovy, cestovatelů a Čechů žijících v zahraničí.
Muzeum se snaží všechny své sbírky postupně zveřejňovat a zpřístupňovat. Kromě tematických výstav z vlastních sbírek, organizuje muzeum exkluzivní zahraniční výstavy ve spolupráci se zahraničními institucemi. Nabídka pro návštěvníky je oživena množstvím doprovodných programů, mezi které patří komentované prohlídky, přednášky, tvůrčí dílny či festivaly, kde je možné poznávat mimoevropské kultury všemi smysly. Malebné nádvoří slouží nejen jako veřejný prostor pro oddech návštěvníků, ale i pro pořádání společenských akcí.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to spend afternoon. Usually a little crowded with families with kids, specially on weekends. You can also visit an exposition in next building - take underground tunnel with cool video projection. If you want to see the roof take elevator from first floor or take stairs (in upper floors there are usually queues for the elevator)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From outside glorious building, but inside it's even bigger. National museum is a place where you can find a huge amount of information about Czech Republic in general. This place is a must see if you are a Tourist in Prague. Every level has his own exhibition which are about different topics. Music, cinematography, history, culture, politics, etc. 3-4 hours of pure enjoyment.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is simply amazing, the amount of effort that is put in to make this a great place to visit is evident. They have an amazing collection of rocks and minerals which is a must see if you're interested in rocks, this includes meteorites and radioactive materials like uranium, minerals that naturally glow in the dark etc.
In addition to this they also have evolution of Earth, musical masters from Czechia. It's pretty hard to see all the exhibits in one day unless you breeze thru them. But this place is definitely one of the better natural history museums that I've seen.
Tip: Buy tickets online for no waiting times in queues.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Perfect place for a bad-weather day.
Here you can spend easily half a day looking at many different exhibitions.
The architecture of the old building is just stunning.
Nice little feature in the underground connection to the new building is the live projection on both walls through the history of the world in the beginning, and the history of Prague.
Also very impressive is the "elevator through time" which is a 360 degrees projection with you sitting in the middle.
For sure it would be too much to describe everything here. Just go and visit yourself, it's definitely recommend from my perspective!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely museum, definitely worth the ticket price. We spent 2 and a half hours here and still didn't see half the exhibits. It's stunning inside and the exhibitions are well thought out, also the information cards are in English aswell as Czech. The museum cafe is very reasonably priced too, if you need a pit stop. Delighted we stopped in here.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A magnificent Building that in and of itself is worth the cheap entry fee to see. You can see from my photos just how beautiful the place is! The exhibitions are particular exciting except for the recent history one which goes quite in-depth with information of the time and area and has video works too. The Czech composers part is rather incredibly too. Some of the arrangements of items, mainly the armour feels wrong as they have a jousting helmet with a regular combat armour and the two wouldn’t go together.
Staff seemed friendly and the place was clean, it’s worth an hour or two of your time

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A stunning building with amazing exhibits inside. This is a beautiful structure inside and out (photos do not do any justice). A must is to go to the top of the museum to the viewing area. Stunning views of Prague. Various exhibits are going on at anytime, so best to check online to see what you want to see on the given day. Weekends (especially during winter) are very busy—-if you want to avoid the kids—-best to go during the week. There is a cafe inside the museum as well.
