Today we had our 4 hour walking tour of Prague lead by our guide beginning at the hotel and making our way passed the National Museum and down Wenceslas Square. At the top of the promenade, King Wenceslas sits on his horse. Further down the street in an Art Nouveau shopping and theatre arcade, Czech artist David Cerny has his own rendition of the equestrian sculpture but he has King Wenceslas sitting on an upside down dead horse!
