Important operational information: Enter the Children's Museum through the new building. Entry with a stroller is not possible, leave it in the cloakroom on the first floor of the building. Please store backpacks and other large luggage in the cloakroom on the first floor of the building. To enter the Children's Museum, you need to purchase one of the 90-minute time slots (10:15-11:45, 12:15-13:45, 14:15-15:45, 16:15-17:45). After the time slot ends, you must leave the premises. Please arrive at the entrance no earlier than 15 minutes before the start time (New building, 2nd floor). The elevator in the 2nd hall is temporarily out of service. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. The exhibition on the 2nd floor of the New Building of the National Museum is designed for children aged 4 and older accompanied by an adult. The Children's Museum emphasizes the creative dimension of exploring the surrounding world, the joy and excitement of discovering something new or new contexts in the familiar. Instead of the traditional division into naturalistic and historical perspectives, the exhibition introduces ten thematic blocks that intertwine views on nature, people, and their creations: development - from larva to butterfly, from horsetail to coal; housing - how animals and humans live; protection - from projectiles to armor; senses - perception in humans and other animals; recording - hidden stories in geology and technology; fragility - the charm of delicate insect wings and rare ceramics; error - deviations from norms and rules as a source of uniqueness; movement - bird flight, herd migration, and data flow; brilliance - temporary and permanent brilliance of nature and human products; play - a universal principle in history and the animal world. The diversity of themes permeates the entire exhibition, which is divided into three halls, each offering visitors different impressions. The dominant play takes place in the first hall. The main feature is a unique interactive wall containing a set of games controlled by throwing balls. Each game represents one of the exhibition themes. In addition to the interactive wall, the first hall also features other gaming elements related to the exhibition's themes. Recognition takes center stage in the second hall. In the three-story, seemingly traditional exhibition hall, you will find not only classic showcases and exhibits, but also a number of interactive and gaming elements. The space is dominated by a globe - a massive spherical structure depicting a fantastic planet, under which there is a projection hall with a projection prepared in cooperation with ČT:D, as well as a game kiosk with games from the Déčko.cz website. The third hall features a space dedicated to creativity. Here you will find self-service worksheets for creative activities related to the exhibition's themes. Work desks and all tools are available on-site. The third hall also houses the Children's Museum librarian with books thematically related to the exhibition. On the way from the second to the third hall, you can stop by the dark room - a darkened space behind a curtain dedicated to classical photography techniques. Here you can familiarize yourself with the equipment of a photo lab and try out activities related to light projection.
