I loved the idea of visiting this place. I stood in line for approximately three hours. When I was finally able to enter the library, I took a picture and walked around the place.

En la Biblioteca Municipal de Praga, en la serena Mariánské náměstí, la arquitectura de František Roith (1925–1928) enmarca una vida cultural que sigue latiendo con naturalidad: salas de exposición, conferencias y conciertos conviven bajo travertino, latón y piedra artificial. En su segunda planta, la Galería de la Ciudad de Praga despliega muestras contemporáneas con un trasfondo intelectualmente praguense, mientras las alegorías de Ladislav Kofránek vigilan el acceso como un discreto recordatorio de la ambición cívica de entreguerras. Es un lugar perfecto para entrar en el pulso artístico de la ciudad sin abandonar su tradición de pensamiento público.

Best of all, it’s free to visit and doesn’t take much time,…
