The Museum of Communism is located in Prague, Czech
Republic. It is a museum dedicated to presenting an account of the post–World
War II Communist regime in Czechoslovakia in general and Prague in particular. The
Museum of Communism offers a vivid account of life behind the Iron Curtain. A
variety of fields are represented including: daily life, politics, history,
sport, economics, education, “the arts”, media propaganda, the Peoples’
Militias, the secret police, censorship, judiciary and coercive institutions
(including the Stalinist show-trials) and political labour camps.
It is the first and only museum in Prague (since the
Velvet Revolution) exclusively devoted to a system established in the sphere of
the former Soviet Union. Opened in 2001, the original items and installations
containing authentic artifacts are displayed in the three main rooms of the
museum and conveniently follow the themes of: “Communism - The Dream, The Reality
and The Nightmare.”
