About this experience
I invite you to temporarily forget about the ancient architecture of Prague and get acquainted with modern, unusual, and even provocative urban sculptures that are worth no less attention. You will see the works of modern Czech and European sculptors, understand the goals of their creativity, and decipher the meaning that each art object carries. Together, we will try to find John Lennon's autograph, wink at Franz Kafka, guess where the yellow penguins are marching, and much more!
What to Expect
Works of Famous Sculptors
We will explore an amazing cross-section of modern art: provocative works by controversial David Cerny, installations by the famous group of artists Cracking Art, works by Magdalena Jetelova, and other European sculptors. I will tell you about who the rotating head of Franz Kafka is watching over, how a pink tank ended up on the streets of Prague, why you could be fined for sitting on a sculpture of a huge chair, and reveal the intent and social context of each work. You will learn what the mission of modern art is and how to understand it.
Unusual Art Objects
Why did artists send little penguins to march across the Vltava River? Who are the city residents declaring their love to by the heart-shaped sculpture? And is there really the autograph of the legendary musician on the John Lennon Wall near the French embassy? Not only will you find answers to these questions, but you will also hear fascinating stories from the life of Prague that are connected to numerous art objects on the city streets.
Who Is This Tour For
Travelers who are interested in modern art, as well as those who love unusual routes and want to see Prague from a different perspective.
