A slightly belated wedding anniversary weekend in Prague, taking Friday off to explore the city. Just a few impressions:

The astronomical clock

Sadly, not allowed to take pictures of the tomb of Tycho Brahe.

The Kafka monument
Jan Hus getting burned at the stake, in the Bethlehem Chapel where he preached
On the Charles Bridge
The Church of St Nicholas, putting the “rock” into “Baroque”
Tomas G Masaryk and the city
A rather odd art installation in a cellar, dedicated to Kafka
The old Jewish cemetery

The exhibition of children’s drawings from Terezín was heart-breaking.

Disturbing babies by David Černý at the Kampa Museum
Also in the Kampa Museum, impressive collection of art by Frantisek Kupka.

We would happily go back!
