Very nice and atmosphere place.
Have discounts for students.
Museum of 2 floors:
1. Look and read by yourself, a small self-guide is found there in a few languages.
2. Upstairs tower with a guide, actually was surprised for good, he made very atmospheric tour and were welcome for questions.
Very recommend going to a bar downstairs after the tour.

Immersive experience with tour guide bursting with information 😍 mix of especially created props within an authentic space. Tour space is small and short but exciting. Especially worth going into accompanying bar considering a museum ticket gets you 10% off drinks

An amazing museum. Easy to pass by, but a must see. From going up the oldest stairs in Prague, to looking around the place and hearing the very captivating and peculiar story of the Alchemist, this place will transport you back into a time of magic. The palace is made carefully and with attention to detail, which makes it so interesting. I am a huge fan of everything mysterious and "magical", so to step into an alchemical laboratory is a dream come true. Highly recommend visiting the place, the guide takes time to explain everything and to give you a glimpse into the very strange life of Edward Kelly.

A great place for lovers of magic, alchemy and amazing stories. The first floor is not the most impressive. All the interesting stories will take a long time to read on large signs with text. But on the top floor there is a wonderful guide waiting for you, who will lead you through the ancient alchemist's laboratory and answer any tricky questions. The main bonus is a small viewpoint at the very top of the tower.

So cool museum of the alchemists. A lot of interesting things and exhibits. You can touch some exhibits. And the tour guide was nice and cute.

A must visit if you have an hour to spare, they have put a lot of thoughtful work into this to make it a great experience. There is history and mystery mixed into the tour and it’s just right. Be sure to stop by the additional bar to get a fun alchemy drink, they have non-alcoholic options and the staff are fun and genuine.

Excellent and informative museum. This has a unique feel and authentic presentation on the mystical and historical elements of Alchemy and Alchemists in Prague.

If you are interested in the history of alchemy, you have to visit this one!
While the ground floor isn't super impressive, it'll delight any fan of the legend of Dr. Faustus, with a dark re-build of his house filled with information on different alchemists. Where it gets really good is the upstairs rooms!
First, you walk up the oldest wooden staircase in Prague, it's well used and feels a bit rickety in places, but it's an experience! At the top waits a guide who will give you a personal little tour of the study and laboratory, happy to answer any questions you might have, and giving a fantastic overview of alchemical history.
I loved the tour and the upstairs laboratory stuffed full of exhibits. What a brilliant little museum!

I found this place very interesting and fun to visit. It is made of 2 parts: the lower level where you can buy the tickets and read a lot about alchemy, and the tower where you can go through a guided tour with a very nice and fun guide and see some really nice exhibitions. The whole tour was maybe around 15 minutes, but you can stay after and take pictures or dig further. I guess you could find other places with more emphasis on the alchemical procedures and whatnot, but it doesn't make this place any less interesting. Staff were very friendly and enthusiastic.

There is also an alchemy pub next to it, but i didn't check it out.

A bit small and cramped but the guide makes it all worth it. So good at engaging the visitor today on the 10th of October! Interesting showcase of Dee and Kelley and some surprise characters who figured in Prague's alchemist history. Don't forget the view from the tower! Steep steps and narrow passages makes it not accessible for everyone.

A very nice place to visit if you're traveling with kids or simply embrace your inner child :) downstairs by the ticket office there's a lot of reading for adults and a small room with exposition. The main part though is the tower which you can visit with a guide who'll tell the stories of the alchemists who had a connection to the place. Can recommend for anyone who's into such topics and don't take themselves too seriously.

Amazing little museum giving you a glimpse into the less known art of alchemy in Czechia. The tour guide was the best I've seen - sharing much knowledge and insight into the history of alchemy.

First part of the museum is small and you have to read a lot. Some interactive games also.

Second part is guided in the laboratory of Kelly.

A must see if you want to see something different than just castles and churches!

Really interesting and fun place to visit, especially taking into account that it's quite near to the Prague Castle. The service team speak English well and the guide who works there made our visit really fun and full of interesting stories and facts about Czech alchemy. Also, the price is quite lower than in the most Prague museums what is also a pretty good bonus.
Moreover, there's a little bar/cafe inside, where you can buy fun drinks inside alchemist flasks and all museum attendants get the 10% discount.
So, it's just a worthy place to take a look if you're nearby and I had a good time there.

Me and a couple of friends went and had a lot of fun since the place is really well designed.
Afterwards we went to the bar and had some potions.

If you're looking for a creepy and interactive european alchemist history lesson, that's the place for you.

A very atmospheric place! It looks more like an installation than a museum. Nevertheless, creepy authenticity shines through the humor of the modern presentation. A couple of exhibits even made me feel uncomfortable. It's good to have some idea about alchemy or take a tour to figure it out.

We were lucky enough to arrive just 14 minutes before closing time. A friendly young man took us around the museum and we even made it up the spiral staircase to the tower.

Unfortunately, the old building is not inclusive at all, and even on two legs it's not easy to climb the stairs.

The museum was an interesting part of the trip that gave us a ton of background into the tidal effect alchemists had on early science in Europe and throughout the world - the coolest part was their bar, that featured drinks in science beakers with dry-ice that mimicked a chemical reaction - not only were they delicious, they looked cool as heck! Would definitely recommend the bar after the museum!

Nice place to visit. Nothing great, still you can visit here one time. They will explain the story of alchemist. There are mainly 2 places, one at the ticket counter where the picture with spin wheel is on floor (as in picture). There is also a big room at 3rd or 4th floor, where the alchemist did their experiments. At the top there is also a viewing area which is cool.

Me, my wife Patricia and our 6 children thoroughly enjoyed this amazing museums historical significance, spending 3 hours on our last day in this magnificent city. The replication of Alchemists studio/workspace was exhilarating, giving us a shock of adrenaline seeing his intelligent, scientific work. If I could rate it 6 stars I would especially from the staffs kindness, turning on the A.C when Timmy (our 7 year old) asked them nicely (I praise my parenting😂), and comforting Chloe (our 3 year old) when she was getting scared from the animals (kids am I right😂). My favourite part of our experience was my oldest Payton (17 years old) comforting Max (our 4 year old) after the fun and meaningful trip through his studio/workspace as the kids were a bit shook from the animals 🥹. Thank you to the whole team, especially Hómmus 🇨🇿, our tour guide 🫶🫶. Love the Jacksons!
