Very well educated staff. Found out my family came over on a boat and ported in Galveston. It was very well put together with a lot of Czech paintings and art. I really enjoyed myself and plan on being back for another visit real soon.

Excellent lesson in Czech history. Many wonderfully preserved items. The guided tour provided more background and stories. Very enjoyable! I am glad we stopped.

Had a great experience at this museum that was only a couple miles away from me. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned quite a bit of my heritage, and theres even a kolache place right next to it that is really good! For four dollars for admission its really great, I suggest checking it out even if youre not of Czech lineage just because its so fascinating.

This small museum is a jewel! I had no idea what a pivotal role our Czech immigrants played in Texas history. The audiovisuals are wonderful and varied: short films, timelines, pioneer life artifacts, clothing and textiles, a large steamship model. Right next door is the Kolache Kitchen with a HUGE variety of these yummy treats and now serving lunch - smelled heavenly!

Staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about my own family, and the museum itself has relics that you would usually see in larger museum. This place is a hidden gem in downtown Temple!

This is a little gem of a museum. If youre at all interested in the story of the Czech and Slovak people who emigrated to Texas, you should stop in. Most of the displays can be touched (Please leave the Edison Gramophone cylinders alone... those are out in the open, but are irreplaceable!) and a few of the really old machines are in working order. They include a 9 minute video thats full of information, and some really nice artifacts. If you have any interest in genealogy, and are of Texas Czech descent, you also might want to visit. Finally, the gift shop has some cute pieces. For $4 a head, you get a knowledgeable guided tour. Totally great way to waste an hour and a half or so.
