This is a must-see. We have been to many art museums, including The Met, The Louvre, Uffizi, Guggenheim, and the Vatican, and still think it is one of the best. There is a wide variety of exhibits, so give yourself at least 2-3 hours, although, you could spend much longer.

Smaller museum, but worth the trip! The surrounding neighborhood of Pilsen is cool too. This museum is pay-what-you-want, and will allow free entry.
