The route winds through the city's streets and squares, where his sculptures both blend into and disrupt the urban landscape, offering a critical and biting perspective on contemporary society. Accompanied by a guide who has thoroughly studied the artist’s work, visitors will receive an introduction and unique insights.

An urban and mental journey in which, through Černý’s artistic work, the anatomy of the gaze becomes a tool for reflection.
The tour is available in two distinct options:
Outdoor route: An urban itinerary taking in Černý’s public installations, scattered across Prague’s most emblematic locations. These sculptures, often provocative and surreal, engage with the city’s architecture and history, prompting reflections and ideas through an open dialogue.
Visit to the Musoleum: An immersion in the artist’s creative universe within his private exhibition space. Here, visitors can find previously unseen works, drawings, miniatures, portraits, famous and lesser-known sculptures, early works, kinetic sculptures, and design projects not on display anywhere else.
