Prague City Museum (Muzeum hlavního města Prahy)

Known forPrague historyscale modellocal gemunderrated
The definitive museum for understanding Prague's urban history, anchored by Antonín Langweil's breathtaking 1:480 scale paper model of early 19th-century Prague — one of the most extraordinary museum objects in Central Europe. The collection traces the city from prehistoric settlement through the Habsburg era with well-curated artifacts, maps, and interiors. It's far less visited than the big-name museums, making it a genuine local recommendation. The building itself, a handsome neo-Renaissance structure, is part of the experience.
