Museum of Senses Interactive Exhibition Tickets Prague

The Museum of Senses near Wenceslas Square

The Museum of Senses is a friendly, hands-on museum in the centre of Prague, just around the corner from Wenceslas Square. Its idea is simple: instead of reading labels, you use your eyes, ears, touch and balance to explore illusions and sensory puzzles. Visitors of all ages take part, and you are encouraged to photograph everything and even broadcast live video to friends and family.

To get to the Museum of Senses, walk from Wenceslas Square or take the metro to Muzeum or Můstek. It is open daily from morning until evening, with hours that change by season, and the last entrance is 45 minutes before closing, so plan to arrive with at least an hour to spare.

The mirror maze, the Vortex tunnel and the upside-down rooms

Your adventure begins through a gigantic green gate and continues into a mirror maze full of reflections. From there the museum leads you through surprising spaces: rooms that make you feel upside down, and the Vortex, a spinning tunnel that plays tricks with your balance as you walk through it.

These are the exhibits that make the best photos and videos, which is why the museum is popular with teenagers and families alike. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and hold on to your phone in the Vortex. Expect to be surprised by how quickly the spinning effects work on your balance, so take your time between exhibits.

Touch, feel and challenge: the Pin Wall and the bed of nails

Some of the museum's most memorable exhibits test your sense of touch and your courage. On the Pin Wall you press a hand or a face into a field of pins and leave a temporary impression, and you can dare to lie on a bed of more than 3,500 nails.

Signs explain how each exhibit works, and the museum is built around curiosity: guests are encouraged to try, laugh and compare experiences. With over 50 exhibits, it is easy to spend an hour or more. Every challenge is optional, so you can skip any exhibit that does not appeal to you.
