Product description
This audio guide shows you a different side of Prague — one full of illusions, provocations, and unexpected art.
Your adventure starts inside IAM Prague, the country's first museum dedicated to illusion and trick art. Nothing here is what it seems — paintings become rooms, sculptures dissolve into flat images, and every exhibit hides a trick that only works from one exact spot. Most of the art is interactive, so don't just look — step in, touch, play, and take home photos your friends won't believe.
Once you step outside the museum, your Quirky City Art Tour with our Audio Guide begins — taking you to unexpected corners of Prague as well as some of its most iconic spots.
You'll stand before the colourful chaos of the Lennon Wall and watch a giant Kafka head slowly fall apart and put itself back together. You'll walk into a palace where a horse hangs upside down from the ceiling, discover the strange story behind a cubist streetlamp, and peer into a tower of books that seems to stretch on forever. Along the way, you'll sit for a moment on a bench dedicated to Václav Havel and end your walk on Kampa, Prague's green island, among sculptures, gardens, huge faceless babies, and yellow plastic penguins standing by the river.
But this isn't just about art. Along the way, you'll also discover key moments from Czech history — especially from the communist era. How did a man who spent years in prison become one of the most beloved Czech presidents in history? What happened when Czechoslovakia chose freedom — and the Soviet Union couldn't stand it? And why did young people in communist Prague turn a wall on Malá Strana into a secret memorial for John Lennon?
All this and much more awaits you on this quirky art tour through Prague.
