Located at Jansky Vrsek 312/8 and dedicated to the famous alchemist Edward Kelly.

The museum is divided into two expositions.
The first tells about the history of alchemy, magicians, and the second clearly demonstrates his laboratory, to which the oldest staircase in Prague leads. The museum presents scrolls with magical knowledge, a philosophical egg, flasks with potions and a human skeleton, a magician's oven and a chest that will easily convince a tourist that he has golden hands in the truest sense of the word.
