Myths: A Major Czech-German Art Exhibition Opens in Prague

From June 18 to September 12, the Cermak Eisenkraft gallery in Prague will host a major international exhibition titled MÝTY (Myths), bringing together ten contemporary artists from the Czech Republic and Germany. Set in the historic Topičův dům at Národní 9, the exhibition is free to the public and curated by Tomáš Zapletal Cermak. It runs under the patronage of German Ambassador Andreas Künne. The show reflects on how ancient myths continue to shape the way we understand the world—even in the digital age. In a time dominated by social media, virtual spaces, and rising existential uncertainty, MÝTY explores how myth has evolved from folklore to a modern lens for interpreting identity, reality, and social transformation. “This exhibition is about how myths—far from being obsolete—help us navigate today’s complexity,” said curator Zapletal Cermak. “They’re no longer just ancient tales. For many people, especially the younger generation, they offer emotional truths that feel more real than facts.” Among the Czech contributors is Šimon Brejcha, known for his innovative use of printmaking and graphic experimentation. Jiří Černický, long recognized for blending sculpture, video, and installation, presents works rooted in psychological and cultural mythologies. Karel Štědrý brings a digital precision to abstract geometry,...

Prague Tram Driver Faces Trial for Assaulting Ukrainian Family

The case of a Prague tram driver who assaulted a Ukrainian grandfather in front of his two-year-old grandson is heading to a full public trial after the defendant protested a guilty verdict and suspended sentence. The incident, which occurred on February 27 at the Otakarova stop, drew national outrage when a viral video showed the driver shouting at the passenger before physically attacking him. The man had been holding his grandson at the time. The situation escalated after the child briefly stood on the seat and kicked the protective glass separating the driver’s cabin from the passenger area in a Škoda 15T tram. Following a police investigation, the Prague District Prosecutor’s Office filed formal charges on May 22. The driver, 30, was indicted under two criminal statutes: hooliganism (§358, paragraph 1) and insulting a nation, race, ethnic or other group (§355, paragraph 1, item “a”). Prosecutors requested a five-month suspended sentence, a two-year probation period, and mandatory participation in a rehabilitation and social education program. On May 30, the Prague 10 District Court issued a criminal order (trestní příkaz), a simplified verdict used when evidence is clear and the proposed sentence does not exceed 12 months. The judge agreed with...

DOX Opens Large-Scale Exhibition of Works by David Lynch

The exhibition Up in Flames is the first and largest presentation of David Lynch’s work in the Czech Republic to date. The exhibition of the American artist David Lynch will present the artistic work of this icon of world cinema for the first time in the Czech Republic. The exhibition project, which is being prepared in collaboration with the Paris-based studio Item éditions and his representative gallery Pace in Los Angeles, is conceived as a retrospective of Lynch’s artistic output, with an emphasis on his most recent works from the last seven years. David Lynch’s expressive range of artistic work is very diverse, having worked in drawing, painting, photography, printmaking techniques, design, and animation over the course of nearly six decades. All these areas will also appear in the exhibition in representative collections, including experimental short films. The exhibition is not designed chronologically, but will follow specific formal or thematic connections that, among other things, characterise David Lynch’s work. The project will also include music, film and literary programmes. Lynch, widely known for directing Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks, played an active role in planning the 2024 exhibition. He met with curator Otto M. Urban to approve the final...

New Flavours Arrive at Manifesto Market for the Summer Season

Manifesto Market has expanded its culinary line-up just in time for summer, introducing three new food vendors and a refreshed cocktail menu. The additions bring new flavours from Turkey, India, and Italy, while the resident SOOT Bar debuts a new collection of locally inspired drinks. One of the new arrivals is Chef Kemal, a street food concept led by Turkish chef Kemal Deniz, who has more than 25 years of experience in his country’s cuisine. Originally from Şanlıurfa, Deniz offers a range of traditional Turkish dishes with a focus on quality ingredients and handmade preparation. The menu includes well-known staples like lentil soup (mercimek çorbası), börek, meze platters, and grilled kebabs. A highlight is the freshly made pita sandwiches, combining grilled meat or vegetables with herbs and spices in soft flatbread. More dishes are expected to be added in the coming weeks, including options from the Turkish mangal (grill). Also joining Manifesto is Naan by Lal Qila, a concept developed by Indian chef Shubhankar Chakravorty. Unlike many Indian restaurants in Europe, Naan focuses on authentic street food recipes that are popular in India but less common abroad. The centrepiece of the menu is the Kathi Roll, a paratha flatbread wrap...

Prague City to Install Emergency Alerts at Transport Shelters

Screens at 140 public transport stops across Prague will now display emergency warnings in real time, offering faster communication with residents in the event of floods, violent incidents, or other threats. The new system is operated by the city’s Crisis Management Team, which can send alerts tailored to specific areas of Prague. This means only residents in affected zones will see the warning messages, helping to avoid unnecessary panic elsewhere. “There’s no need to alarm people on the opposite side of the city,” said Councilor Michal Hroza (TOP 09), who is responsible for infrastructure. “People will receive alerts only if the situation concerns their location.” The digital screens—already in use for advertising and cultural event promotion—will now also carry text-based emergency messages. These alerts appear at the top of the screen and, if necessary, will temporarily override ongoing content such as ads or city announcements. The system is managed by Technologies of the Capital City of Prague (THMP), which maintains the digital infrastructure. The crisis team has direct access to the platform and can trigger alerts instantly, depending on the situation. “The team can react within seconds,” said Tomáš Novotný, vice-chairman of the THMP board. “They decide what type of...

Summer Shutdowns: Prague Faces Major Road and Metro Closures

Prague summer road and metro closures will affect drivers and public transit riders citywide, with disruptions beginning in late June and continuing through fall. As summer approaches, Prague is preparing for a wave of infrastructure repairs that will impact both road traffic and public transportation. From major thoroughfares to key metro connections, closures are set to cause delays and rerouted traffic across the city. Key Road Closures to Expect The most notable disruption will be the closure of Plzeňská Street in Prague 5 due to a gas pipeline reconstruction. Work begins on June 26, but the most impactful phase starts July 16, when the section between Kartouzská and Erbenova will be completely closed to all vehicles. Detour routes will lead through Mozartova, Vrchlického, and Erbenova, according to the Technical Roads Administration. Another major artery, Karlovarská, which connects the D6 motorway to the city, will be fully closed from July 1 to August 31, affecting not just cars but also public and service transport. Drivers using Cínovecká Street, a key link between Prague and the D8 motorway, should prepare for partial closures extending until October, as the bridge and road surface undergo major repairs. Meanwhile, Kbelská Street will undergo a long-term...

Farewell, Nona: Café at National Theatre’s to Close Ahead of Major Renovation

The New Stage of Prague’s National Theatre will close at the end of the upcoming theatre season. A full-scale reconstruction is scheduled to begin in autumn 2025, with completion targeted for 2028. As part of the overhaul, the theatre complex’s interior will be modernised, while key elements of its original brutalist design will be preserved. The three interconnected buildings — opened in 1983 under intense political pressure — will finally be adapted to meet the functional and artistic needs of the theatre. Among the most visible changes will be the relocation of the iconic Café Nona, which will be replaced by a new entrance to the main hall on the first floor. Post-renovation, the auditorium will offer around 100 additional seats and flexible configurations to accommodate different types of performances. “We’ll transform the space into a cultural hub where audiences can engage with directors and performers,” said Tomáš Staněk, spokesperson for the National Theatre. History The original design of New Stage came from architect Bohuslav Fuchs, whose 1960s vision featured a glass facade facing Národní třída. But following his death in 1972 and the fallout of the 1968 invasion, his plans were shelved. The project was handed to Pavel Kupka,...

Metro Stations to Host New Drug Clinics – Prague Residents Push Back

The City of Prague has approved the opening of three new contact centers for drug users, reigniting tensions across several city districts. The move is part of a broader strategy to improve access to harm-reduction services — yet some of the proposed locations are already facing strong local opposition. One center is set to be built in the metro vestibule below Jungmannovo náměstí, a high-traffic area near the Můstek station. Another will be placed near Nádraží Holešovice, in repurposed containers located between the metro and railway stations. The third center will be located somewhere in Prague 9, though the precise site remains under discussion. The project also includes a mobile unit modeled after a successful initiative in Brno. Currently, only two such centers operate in Prague — Sananim in Prague 5 and Drop In on Karolíny Světlé Street in Prague 1. Experts argue this is far from sufficient for a city of over a million residents. The proposed expansion aims to distribute these services more evenly and reduce health risks associated with drug use, such as infections and overdoses. The issue has gained urgency since 2022, when Prague 5 authorities terminated the lease of a contact center operated by the...
