We were wandering what we would see at Merkur exhibition. Very very poor for the family fee of 200CZK 40CZK. The plus is for 3rd child! Do you understand why 3 kids family are handicapped in Czech?

This museum is a real jewel! The building itself is a beautifully restored art nouveau palace that would merit a visit on its own. There are three separate sections with separate tickets and since the woman at the counter did not speak any English or German it took us some time to figure this out: There are arts and crafts, an armoury and a historical section. We decided to visit this time the arts and crafts section which is located on the top floor. It contains mainly chech glass art, various porcelain and a big collection of old locks! While none of this really is within my key interests I was totally fascinated by the exhibition, first by the excellent quality of the exhibits and second by the beautiful vitrines and the taste with which the artworks were exhibited. When I return to Pilson I will certainly return to this museum as well to see the other departments. It is really a pity and a shame that this museum is not better known and more popular. I doubt you’ll find anything better outside of Prague.

Used to go there regulary since I remember (90's:) and I love it. Also they had a series of really interesting art exhibitions recently. If you must visit ONE museum in Pilsen, this is definitely IT.

This is a large museum, which covers the growth of the Pilzen area from the stone age to the present day. It is housed in a beautiful building which was very quiet on a Sunday morning in February. A great cultural experience.

Rip off of 60czk just to visit the armoury (which was really only a waste of time), you have to pay for each section separately 80czk if you want to see archeology etc.

A thoroughly enjoyable collection of Czech glass and ceramics in a beautifully restored building. There is much to see for a one floor exhibit, although too much about old locks and keys perhaps. Along with Czech arts there are German Meissen and French Sevres porcelain pieces… and some ancient Greek, Italian, and Asian wares. I spent more time here than any other museum in Pilsen. Note that the Museum of West Bohemia is several distinct collections in the same location, of which Applied Arts and Crafts (umělecké řemeslo) is just one. It occupies the third floor of the building and the ticket was 80 Czech Koruna when I visited.

Visit here was supposed to be the culmination of a long anticipated visot to Pilsen, as I hoped to see at least some of the huge collection of early XVc handcannons/rucnice/piszczaly that is supposedly housed here. That turned out to be 15 min of disappointment as I was directed to Armoury, and staff was adamand that no items feom this collection was in either History or Archaeology section. Huge disappointment, outclassed by most museums in big cities.
