Musoleum Prague

Not a misspelling of Mausoleum

Michal from Prague

About me I am a chemist (PhD, DSc, etc.), semi-retired, trying to make it as a photographer. Born in Prague, with about 20 years in US, I'm now back in Prague almost full time.

If you ever heard about David Černý and became interested in this controversial artist/entrepreneur, you should visit his new project - Musoleum. There you can find a collection of everything spanning from his minuscule creations up to monumental projects for everyone's taste - from "family-friendly" to "restricted". And I mean "very restricted". I took pictures of children studying very carefully the oversized details of human anatomy.

David Černý became famous very shortly after the "velvet revolution" when he painted in pink the tank/monument to the liberation of Czechoslovakia by the Russian army in 1945. However, when the Russian army "liberated" us again in 1968, this tank became a symbol of typical Russian behavior against smaller neighboring countries. Well, not much has changed since then, as they are showing their true face again in Ukraine.

To visit the former brewery building that was carefully reconstructed to house this collection is definitely worth the trip to Smíchov. The recommended tour starts at the top floor and goes all the way to the cellar where probably the most controversial installation is housed.

About me I am a chemist (PhD, DSc, etc.), semi-retired, trying to make it as a photographer. Born in Prague, with about 20 years in US, I'm now back in Prague almost full time. Why Prague I have traveled the world quite a bit (never been to Antarctica) but Prague is so unique that I was always excited to come back here. There is a plethora of places where tourists will always congregate, but you can find beautiful places worth visiting which are not mentioned in books by Lonely Planet, and where you will enjoy being without too many people taking selfies. ...
