The Museum of Communism itself has a real, slightly unlikely origin story. It opened on 26 December 2001, founded by Glenn Spicker, an American businessman who had moved to Prague not long after the 1989 revolution, after he spent roughly $28,000 buying up around 1,000 real communist-era artifacts and commissioning Czech documentary filmmaker Jan Kaplan to design the exhibits. Kaplan structured the museum as a three-act arc: the Communist Party's stated ideals, the day-to-day reality of life under the regime, and the mechanics of the police state that enforced it.
The museum's own timeline runs from February 1948, when the Communist Party seized full control of Czechoslovakia in a coup, through to the Velvet Revolution in November 1989 — the same arc this tour's guided walk traces outdoors, with a real focus on the two sharpest turning points inside it: the 1968 Prague Spring, when a brief period of liberalization under Alexander Dubček was crushed by a Warsaw Pact invasion that August, and the actual 1989 revolution two decades later that finally ended one-party rule for good.
Seeing the real propaganda posters, surveillance equipment, and reconstructed interrogation room inside the museum right after walking the streets where the Prague Spring and Velvet Revolution actually happened gives both halves of the day more weight than either would carry alone.
