Great Art

Here is a cool picture I took of some scuptures in Prague. I'm guessing it was part of some sort of temporary street exhibit. We stumbled upon a whole series of them arranged around a small square, probably about 30 pieces altogether. That's one of the best things about Prague. No matter where you turn there is something to see, so just wandering around is a visual feast. It's also still a bit cheaper than Western Europe but not nearly as cheap as it once was, as I had to scour the city to find a liter of beer for 2 euro. I heard that things get much less expensive once you leave the city center and get away from all of the tourists, but we didn't have the time to get there. Still, one can't complain too much about a liter of strong Czech beer for two and a half bucks.
The Alphonse Mucha museum was small, but contained a very good collection of the graphic artist's work. Definitely a must see for anyone interested in graphic arts or art nouveau. Overall, I'd found it at least as enjoyable as the Escher Museum here in the Hague. For other Mucha intallations a must see is the stained glass window (see below) in St. Vitus Cathedral (which, despite the long lines, is beautiful in it's own right, and just one of the amazing things to take pictures of in and around Prague Castle). From what I read, Mucha's murals in the Municiple House are also breathtaking but while we were there it was closed to the public for renovation. Alas.
Overall the Czech capital does not fail to live up to it's artsy bohemian stereotype, and I hope to get back there again for a longer stay, preferrably outside of tourist when the place is infested.
