My daughter had her wedding reception at the Museum. Naomi was so helpful the night of the event. Even with all of the uncertainty with Covid, she was professional and helped reduce some of the stress involved with planning a wedding reception in the midst of a pandemic. It is a beautiful venue and unique to Cedar Rapids. I would highly recommend it.

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.

This place was amazing! Here you can learn the rich history of the Czech and Slovak people. The staff are very accommodating and knowledgeable of the given subject matter of the museum. My family and I had a great time.

Nice place for wedding. Enjoyed walking around exhibitions while waiting on pictures. Nice to have underground parking

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

Really enjoyed learning about the Czech and Slovak people. And the people that work there are super nice. Due to covid the more hands on things for little kids to do are not available.but my kids enjoyed it overall.

One of the best museums! Showed so many cool artifacts and information about Czech and Slovak Culture. Great for people who have Czech/Slovak Backgrounds or people who just like to learn about a culture that shaped and influenced so much of Cedar Rapids.

Enjoyed the whole time we were there! Expression of art in different ways, was very informative & interesting! Be sure to watch the movies! Cartoon was very funny!

Very good view of Czech suppression and later work towards independence.

Weve lived in the area for three years and finally got around to visiting this museum. The people at the front desk were 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

A wonderful surprise as we travelled through Iowa! Very informative, entertaining and well done. If you have any connection with the Czech Republic or Slovakia this is a must see.....

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.

If you like museums this is a mustLots of historical exhibitsVideo of moving the building is amazingTakes 2-4 hoursStaff is wonderful and very helpful

Very nice place to see nice exhibits but some exhibits were not properly organized.

Love it there

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.

Didnt make it into museum for time wise but seen all the pretties in gift shop!Gorgeous but cant afford any!

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 wasnt the most knowledgeable

This is a gem if you have any connections with either Czech or Slovak history. Personally I dont, 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.

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.

Great day. Especially the dancers!

Great building. Very informative. Terrific support staff.

Fantastic location for a meeting. Audio Visual equipment is top notch and participants enjoyed the facilities.

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

Fabulous exhibits. Great genealogy library. Lovely gift shop. A wonderful destination.

Some of most knowledgeable tour guides. Very kind. Nice, detailed exhibits.

I learn something new every time I am there the staff is A+

This place is Amazing! The library staff helped me find my great grand parents

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

We had a lovely visit at the museum. All the folk were very cordial and welcoming.

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

Great guitar exhibit

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.

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

A wonderful museum for all nationalities. Friendly staff and large high quality exhibits on interesting topics.

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!
