Visit overview

Plan for approximately 60 minutes to explore the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague, which features an informative ground-floor exhibition and a theatrical attic laboratory.

Entry notes

To reach the theatrical attic laboratory, visitors must climb a steep, 60-step spiral wooden staircase from the 16th century. Due to this historic architecture, the museum is unfortunately not barrier-free and is inaccessible to wheelchair users or those with significant mobility issues. The connected "Kellyxír" alchemical lab pub on the ground floor is level and accessible.

Visit highlights

The museum's exhibits are well-labeled in both English and Czech, allowing for self-paced exploration. Consider visiting the connected "Kellyxír" alchemical lab pub on the ground floor after your tour, which offers "elixirs" served in flasks and test tubes.
