The museum provides a suggestive view of the following aspects of life in Communist-era Czechoslovakia: daily life, politics, history, sports, economics, education, art (specifically Socialist Realism), propaganda in the media, the People’s Militias, the army, the police (including the secret police, the StB), censorship, and courts and other institutes of repression, including show trials and political labor camps during the Stalinist era. It focuses in particular on the totalitarian regime that ruled the country from the February putsch in 1948 until the Velvet Revolution in 1989.

Enjoy a great panoramic view of Prague from the spot where a giant statue of Josip Stalin was overseeing its Czechoslovak underlings. Shortly after its installment, Nikita Chruscev revealed Stalin's atrocities in his famous speech, and Stalin's monument was removed. Only the monument's base survived to the present day, a big metronome was installed on it instead of the statue and the location became a popular viewpoint for young people dating or showing their skateboarding skills.
