This place is like stepping back in time, although it is looking a little tired, it is definitely worth popping in and having a quick look around. You can see the upside down horse and stop for a coffee here. It is just off Wenceslas Square.

Given the location of our hotel in Prague, we crossed this "passage" daily during our stay. Obviously we were all initially struck by David Černý's sculpture, depicting Saint Wenceslas riding a horse turned upside down and hanging from the ceiling by its legs, clearly dead. And we wondered in how many European cities such an irreverent work would be accepted in a central and symbolic spot. Therefore the work made me appreciate the eccentric and non-conformist inclination of the Prague people. Subsequently, I began to appreciate the passage as a whole, for the lively cultural activity that takes place there, especially visible in the evening, when the public entering or leaving cinemas, theatres, bars and restaurants fills the arcade. And I also appreciated architectural features such as that of the "Rotunda" (where Černý's horse is located), an Art Deco masterpiece (which I personally love very much). After some further time, I deepened my knowledge, ascertaining that the Lucerna Palace - in which the Gallery is located - is all together a representative work of Art Deco architecture, which also has many masterpieces in Prague.

Tuli eksyttyä tähän pasaasiin aivan vahingossa. Tällaisia korttelin sisäisiä kauppakujia on Prahassa valtavien korttelien sisällä useitakin. Käytävät henkivät menneen maailman lumoa, rakennuksella ikää noin 100 vuotta. Jouluviikolla paikka kovin hiljainen. Suuressa aulassa ainakin elokuvateatteri, kahvila-ravintola ja maailman ”uljain” ratsastajapatsas. Rohkeasti vain kadulla olevista avoimista ovista ja käytävistä korttelien sisään, koskaan ei tiedä mitä löytää!
