An excellent exhibition making use of period footage to support the detailed narrative on display. The crypt is very moving, and the stories of the men involved simply but powerfully shown. Free...

I highly recommend this memorial to anyone who is interested in history. The crypt is a particularly sobering experience, especially for those already familiar with Operation Anthropoid. Be prepared to remove your hat if you are wearing one and speak in a whisper. Nearly all of the signs include English as well as Czech, and there are free pamphlets in both languages. I have also included a few pictures from Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, directly above the crypt. I would highly recommend seeing the Cathedral as part of your visit to this memorial.

Was here with my 2y old. Entrance is free. Worth short educational visit on the subject of operation Anthropoid and some parts of the WW2 history.

Amazing memorial. Filled with history that I have never learned in the USA, was very cool that it is in the site that these soldiers spent their final moments, to top that off it was free, with free information booklets with deeper information. It is always one of my favorite things to learn local history while traveling since that is what you never learn in school.

Superb museum and tribute to the brave Czech soldiers/resistance fighters who died here. Very informative video detailing their fight and the museum itself is excellent and very emotive. Highly recommended.
