Enter the world of film tricks by genius of world cinema from 20th century!

The Karel Zeman Museum presents the life’s work of the world renowned film maker Karel Zeman and his cinematic special effects, which made Czech cinematography world famous in the 20th century.
The museum maps the life and work of Karel Zeman from its beginnings – from his first animations and puppet films in the 1940’s to work from his last creative period. A substantial part of the museum is dedicated to his most significant films – Journey to the Beginning of Time, The Fabulous World of Jules Verne and The Fabulous Baron Munchausen.
The museum’s playful approach to the exhibition is unique. It allows visitors to participate directly - to try out with their own photo and video cameras selected special-effect techniques that Zeman used in his films.
Simply put in this museum shooting photos and video is encouraged!
The individual rooms of the museum are conceived as movie studios, and there are small stages with backdrops which visitors can step into and shoot their scenes. They can take a ride on a flying machine, or walk around the moon like Baron Munchausen, or take the controls of the famous submarine from “The Fabulous World of Jules Verne.” Also part of the exhibition are previously unpublished photographs, original puppets, and other documentary materials from the life and work of this visionary filmmaker.
Interactive tablet guide available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.

At a yard in front of the museum, you can play a game of monster puzzle or take a picture in some of our amazing scenic images.

We also offer rich accompanying program, which includes boat trips, animation and special effects workshops, creative design workshops, film showings or seminars.
