I visited the National Check and Slovak Museum and Library for the first time Saturday, February 3, 2018 to check out the Art of Accessories exhibit. I really enjoyed the exhibit of folk art and the detail of the handwork that was exhibited. Also the permanent exhibit of the velvet revolution was very informational and I appreciated the interactive immersion of the exhibits. I am thinking of joining as an Individual, renewable annually for only $35.00 a year. Gets you in free and I would be supporting the museum. I had fun, would like to go back soon and encourage you to check it out. Admission is $10.00. Not bad for the few hours would could spend soaking up the history. Also I watched 4 Bald Eagles fishing on the river from the entryway. very neat.

We've lived in the area for three years and finally got around to visiting this museum. The people at the front desk we're wonderful and friendly - they even offered to take our picture under the beautiful entry chandelier. Exhibits were fun and informative. We enjoyed the films and the exhibit on communism. The baby in costumes photo exhibit was pretty cute as well. A great place to spend a few hours! Be

Took students on a field trip here. The tour guide did a fantastic job relating to the wide age range of students that we had. She was very knowledgeable and interesting. The kids loved it.

Great place to learn about ethic Czech culture and history. My family and I have been traveling around visiting museums and learning about all the ethnic groups of the US and the world and learning their cultures and histories. As a black woman with mixed children I am thankful for places like this. I want my children to see that white people have amazing multiple cultures and wonderful history. They never get to see any of it from schools or the media.

Great building. Very informative. Terrific support staff.

John Lee

Nice place to touch the history

Grace White

It is not for kids. Small. It should be free for what it has to offer, which is practically nothing.

Eric Goldberg

Unexpected surprise for our first visit to Cedar Rapids. Worth the stop.

Nice Sunday with my wife for the visit our wedding's place

Jill Knight

It's important to keep cultures alive, especially when other countries try to repress and take there culture away. Beautiful building also.

Sarah Blakeney

Exhibits are very thorough but sometimes it can feel like the information is a little overwhelming with the amount to read. Staff is very nice but the volunteer who showed us the homestead wasn't the most knowledgeable

I was here in 2013 for the wedding of my stephbrother. I is a very nice place! From the outside you have a nice view.

chris Harris

Great loved it

Geart Bakker

This is a gem if you have any connections with either Czech or Slovak history. Personally I don't, but my wife is of Polish/Slovak heritage. To me it gave great insight into the culture and also oppression of the nation during WWII and later during the cold war. The people working here are passionate about this subject and willing to share.

Juan Alvarado

It's an amazing building very happy they are trying to keep the Czech history alive around our area

Evemarie Zimmerman

Great exhibits. Took my 11 year old granddaughter and she really enjoyed. People were friendly and helpful.

Very nice facility

Pavel Chabada

Veľmi pekné múzeum. Bol som veľmi milo prekvapený, keď som tam našiel vo vstupnej vestibule fotku frezky z Očovského rímskokatolíckeho kostola.Priateľom z Ameriky som ju potom ukázal v Očovej v origináli.

Robert Chittenden

The facility itself is beautiful and worth the visit. The exhibits reinforce how fortunate we are to be American citizens, movingly portraying the Czech and Slovak experience. Very attentive staff and a gift store that showcases Czech and Slovak art. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had our wedding at NCSML on 8/18/18. Our experience was phenomenal! Sarah, the wedding event coordinator did an amazing job, as did the rest of the support staff. I booked this venue over a year in advance, and they did not disappoint. I wish I could live my wedding day all over again, and I am eternally grateful for the lifetime memories I created in their hall. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. - The Piplanis

This museum is lovely. We drove from Des Moines and there are plenty of signs leading you to the museum. The Mucha exhibit was amazing. Thank you for bringing world class artists to Iowa. Note: They do have a student discount!
