In reading the reviews, I thought I would find a home from 100 years ago, furnished and representive of the time and the status of the family. Instead, I found a very few pieces of furniture and lots of portraits, but nothing resembling a place where people once lived

This museum was by far my favorite in the castle complex. I would suggest not paying to go into any other buildings in the castle grounds and just pay for this one. The price of the ticket comes with an audio guide narrated by one of the family members so you get a personal story with the items you are... More

Don't miss this small museum. For one thing, the family history is fascinating. For another, there are a number of true art masterpieces in the collection. I think I loved most the musical instrument and manuscript collection. We saw the collection in about 90 minutes and then had a lovely break in the cafe within the Palace.

Not worth to see if you are not specifically interested in that particular family. There are a couple of important paintings. The rest are things where you can find anywhere. Visit Kafka museum instead. At least it would help understanding old Prague and the master himself. Lobkowicz Palace does not deserve that much compliment.

We purchased a combine ticket for a lunchtime classical concert, 10% reduction in the restaurant and a ticket for the museum. It was a perfect location to relax away for the crowds of tourists that are i the castle complex. The 1 hour classical concert featuring a pianist, flutist and viola player was excellent and was followed by lunch in... More

We took in a midday concert and then lunch at the palace and it was all fine. The terrace cafe has a nice view over Prague. The downside is the ice cream/gelato stand just inside. The very glib guy behind the glass has the patter down and gave my wife change for a 100 krona when she had given 200.... More

The Lobkowicz collection could have been the highlight of our trip. Each room holds one surprise after another. It is hard to determine which room as the best! There were very few visitors so we were able to take our time in each room without being jostled or rushed. Hearing the family members on the audio guide was an added... More

This exhibition sums up the best of Prague. The two hour audio guide was packed with great stories that span the diverse collection. Even our teen listened to the whole tour and recommends it. The comprehensive collection is very well organized from history through portraiture, armory, musical instruments, decorative arts, and more - something for everyone.
