Lucerna Gallery Interior

Interior of Lucerna Gallery, on 19th March, 2018, in Prague, the Czech Republic. Located between Stepanska and Vodickova streets in Prague 1, 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. In the marbled atrium hangs artist David Cerny’s sculpture Kun, a wryly amusing counterpart to the equestrian statue of St Wenceslas in Wenceslas Square. 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.
