Anniversary of the clock in Prague

The astronomical clock on Prague’s Old Town Square is 600 years old this year. This week, three-dimensional 3D images will be projected on the building of the Old Town Hall on the south side (the “Eagle” is located there). The audience will see significant moments from the history of the chimes of master Ganus. Shows will be held every half hour from 19.30 to 22.00. Every hour there will be a traditional performance in which the skeleton pulls a rope to begin the performance of the apostles, who appear from two different windows at the top of the clock. The skeleton looks at a Turk who, disagreeing with his colleague, shakes his head negatively. The miser boasts to the public of a thick purse, and the vain man gladly looks at his reflection in the mirror.
