A great art museum with super tiny objects that are visible only with a microscope.

The museum has some really nice miniatures, we really enjoyed them. Even though there are not many (10-15 min), they are exquisite. But the museum could benefit from some maintenance. The premises of the museum do not have much natural lighting, so to be able to see the miniatures well, good artificial lighting is necessary. Unfortunately some of the miniatures were badly lit, one miniature was completely without light, some were very well lit, others poorly. As a result, some of the miniatures could not be seen well. It would be great to find the best type of lighting and have this same type for all the miniatures. Some of the microscopes were not well adjusted, out of focus, so you could not see much. Overall, the museum has a lot to improve. For the price, I expected better setting.

Really unusual place and interesting exhibits. You can pay only with cash and entrance is 150 CZK.
They have small souvenir stand where you can buy interesting figures and magnets.
Worth exploring and visiting.

Enjoyed this niche, little (get it?) museum. We covered all there is to see in 15 minutes. Tickets on arrival were cash only, 150CZK. There is a ATM behind the museum down the stairs on the left. Some really impressive artwork to be seen, not sure how they are made! Worth stopping by if in the area.

Advance warning, this museum is cash only!!
The miniature museum is very small (ha!) and not worth going unless you're already in the area.
It's a handful of exhibits of, admittedly very very good, miniature artwork. 10 minute visit maximum.
That said, the exhibits really are good, and very tiny. There's just not very many of them.

It’s a 4 cause it’s underground, you gotta find it to go. Otherwise it’s a 5 star from me

Food:No. it’s a museum. There’s a cafe tho
Amenities: 3. You gotta go out for the toilet and walk all the way back.
View: 4-5. Got some cool structure, very life like, realistic.
Service: 5. Excellent staff, helped clear any queries I had
Cleanliness: 4-5. I can spot some trash left by some litterbugs but overall it’s clean

Hier kann man herausfinden, wieviel Talent und Geduld der Künstler haben kann. Obwohl das Museum auch "miniatural" ist ( ziemlich wenig zu sehen und nicht länger als 10-15 Minuten Besuchzeit) , es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall einmal reinzukommen. Die Kunstwerke kann man sowohl durch Mikroskop als auch durch eine Lupe sehen .

A lovely little museum located right by the Strahov Monastery offers some amazing artworks by a Siberian artist Anatoly Konenko, who entered into the Guinness Book of World Records in 1996 for creating the world's smallest book.
Among the works to be seen, there is a caravan of camels in the eye of a needle, inscription on hair, inscription on rice, iconic images on poppy seeds, a flea with horseshoes and scissors.
The works cannot be seen with the naked eye, so each one has a microscope or magnifying glass with which you can view the intricate details. The microminiatures can range in size from a few millimeters to mere tenths of a millimeter.
In the museum, you can also buy some amazing jewellery. The entrance is 5 euroes and the viewing will take you about half an hour.
