Museum of Bricks, Prague: practical guide for first-time visitors

The Museum of Bricks is, by its own account, the largest private LEGO museum in the world, in a former bank building in central Prague, Czechia.

This guide was updated in June 2026. Basic admission is from CZK 235, under a price list that has been in effect since 11 April 2025, so any guide quoting an older figure is now out of date. The Prague branch is the largest of the company’s five museums, with 420 square metres of exhibits. You can book through GetYourGuide to skip the ticket desk and lock in your price before you travel.
