Monument to Wenceslas on an upside down horse

&Scaron tě pá nská 704/61,110 00 Praha-Praha 1, Czech Republic.

Description:

The monument to Wenceslas on an upside down horse is an ironic version of the famous classical monument to St. Wenceslas. Made this unusual monument is a very scandalous sculptor David Black.

This variant is not inferior in popularity to the original: a horse tied by the legs hangs upside down with its tongue protruding, and the Czech King Wenceslas sits on her belly.

At first it was decided to place the monument close to the original, but on the other side of the square. However, the inhabitants of the city did not like this sculpture and caused a storm of discontent. Therefore, the monument was moved to another place.

Today it can be seen in the atrium of the Lucerne Passage. There, the monument is suspended from the ceiling on iron cables, and there are constantly many tourists around it.
