Czech Police Museum

Next to the Church is the Police Museum, which is housed in the former Augustinian monastery. This monastery was established back in 1350 by Charles IV. The building was given to the state in 1785 after the order was abolished and later used as a hospital until 1955. Throughout the following years, the building had numerous governmental uses and renovations, until it became the Police Museum in 1990.

This museum presents the history of security and police forces in the Czech Republic and former Czechoslovakia. There are a mix of short term and permanent exhibition such as the history, equipment, and uniforms of various police forces. There are also exhibits on forensic science, drug tracking, and border protection.

Behind the museum building in the courtyard, there is a traffic playground that showcases numerous police cars, guard towers, and other vehicles including a helicopter and even a tank!

If you’re interested in visiting, full price tickets are 100 CZK with discounts for seniors and students. One important note is that many exhibits are only in Czech, so you may need to translate with an app. More information about opening hours can be found in the description.

Head back out of the entrance you came in and take a left. At the end of the street, enter the open gate on your left. If one of the gates is closed, you can also walk though the courtyard area and turn right to continue the tour.
