I went with friends to see the Monarch Chamber Music production. The Czech Museum is a very elegant venue. The Museum had free Danish, and you could purchase wine, soft drinks, and water. There were small tables and chairs, plus tall bar tables. The museum was available for viewing, and there was a gift shop. The event was held upstairs, and they had an elevator available, too. The event was held in a large room with nice folding chairs. Many art pieces were displayed in the room. The production included 3 musicianspiano, violin, and clarinet performing Czech composers and other composers. The group performed some very interesting pieces and was enjoyable. The museum personnel stated that more events would be held in the future. The event was free, but donations were accepted.
Great cultural museum and very friendly staff. Current exhibit on lace will be fascinating to anyone who crochets or does tatting. Not a huge museum, but covers a lot of history, especially of Czechs in Texas and of Terezín. Very affordable admission. Oh and they have Czech candies in the gift shop!
I attended an event at this facility and while the facility itself is fine building and museum, my experience with its parking situation was not good. The building is located in Midtown, which is spotty when it comes to crime and property damage. Because of this, no doubt, the facility has a fence around its entire parking lot and a gated entrance and exit. Upon exiting the parking lot, you are confronted with a very poorly designed and frankly dangerous gate which opens INWARD, and unless you know this already it comes as a big unwelcome surprise, as there is very little signage warning you of this in advance. Unfortunately, the gate banged into my vehicle since I did not have enough time to back out of the way once I realized what was happening, and a large scratch was left on my front bumper. Either the gate needs to be fixed such that it does not hit vehicles, or patrons need to be warned when they visit the museum so that this does not happen to others. This made an otherwise nice afternoon into a definitely less pleasant experience.
Really great little museum showing the history of the Czech people and specifically those affected in WWII. The young lady that was there was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
I've been meaning to go to this museum for a while! The staff are so friendly and the tour was great! I got to learn a lot about Texan Czech history as well as Czech history! The tour was wonderful and informative, and the museum has the largest collection in the US of Czech glassware, which is so beautifully made. The tour was $12 for two people, and it was totally worth it! It's very close to other museums in the museum district, and it's a gem in Houston's Museum Scene
A wonderful place! i love here so much! They have breathtaking lights and stairs which are prefect for weddings. They also have beautiful hall with dancing floor which can hold a lot of people. All the staffs here are kind and responsible. You can choose to reserve food or alcohol for your events. i really really enjoy myself here and I LOVE THIS MUSEUM SO MUCH! please make sure you won't miss it! They also have a gift shop in case you want to buy some adorable gifts for your friends. They even have a library and piano!
Very nice fun & interesting museum place to visit for both Czech culture and they also host some free events like the one with the pictures i posted. I enjoyed a free Classical Concert. You may check to see if there is any up coming events through the Eventbrite App
You need to ring the doorbell at the front entrance in order to enter. Very affordable, only $6 per adult and $3 per child. The tour guide explained everything to us. It only took an hour. The displays are beautiful! They include hand cut glass, pressed glass, jewelry, ceramics, embroidery, and artwork.
Gorgeous venue. The staff are really helpful and know a lot about the history of the place, Czech history and art, and the history of the surrounding area. Make sure to follow their events newsletter. Also make sure to check out their top floor for more art.
Great history of the Czech culture. The workers were super nice and the building is beautiful inside. Will be back to explore again.
