David Cerny is a artist born in Prague with interesting, controversial, and always eye catching sculptures all over the city. I rode upon some of them by chance, when I looked up information about them online I found that they were all by the same artist. So I decided to create a bike adventure touring around the city to find his sculptures. This is a great way to get to know the city and see awesome public art. Prague is not easy to navigate but if you're good and remember to look up this is possible to do in a day. I gave myself more time, this was a cruising tour for me, plus you'll probably see most of his sculptures by coincdence anyway.
Too bad for me. I did not read the fine print on the requirements for transporting my bike on the bus, you have to put it in a box, and so I was not allowed to bring it with. I would have really enjoyed being part of enormous bike community of Vienna. I had to tie my bike up at the Florenc bus station in Prague and hope that it would be there in five days when I got back. The good news is buses run out of there twentyfour- seven so it was nice to know there would always be foot traffic around my bike as protection.
Once I got to the Museum Gugging, I relaxed with some beautiful art work. A lot of artists are inspired by public transportation. Hear are a few from the Gugging. This museum exhibits Art Brut. Some of these people ave some training but most of them are psychiatric patients living in hospitals creating art there or at the Gugging itself. I took a million pictures at this place Beautiful place, Vienna waits for you and I shall return.
