In the marbled atrium where the tickets can be bought for the cinema, hangs David Cerny’s sculpture called Kun, an equestrian sculpture of St Wenceslas in Wenceslas Square in Lucerna Gallery, on 19th March, 2018, in Prague, the Czech Republic. Lucerna is the most elegant of Nove Mesto’s many shopping arcades runs through the art-nouveau Lucerna Palace 1920, between Stepanska and Vodickova streets. The complex was designed by Vaclav Havel grandfather of the former president, and is still partially owned by the family. It includes theatres, a cinema, shops, a rock club and several cafes and restaurants. Here St Wenceslas sits astride a horse that is decidedly dead; it’s safe to assume this is a reference to Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic from 2003 to 2013.
