Europe is a continent rich in history and political turmoil and the Czech Republic does not buck that trend. The country was a communist nation from 1948 until the Velvet revolution of 1989.

 Under communist rule, more than 200,000 Czechs were arrested and 327 shot dead as they attempted to flee the country. 

Inside the communism museum you will find photographs, films and even sculptures documenting the state-sponsored terrorism that occurred under communist rule.
