RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Wednesday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
The Prague metronome is a metronome mounted on a hill in the Holesovice district of Prague. In 1991, at the time of the Universal Czechoslovak Exhibition in Prague, it was decided to put a giant metronome on the place of the monument to Stalin on the old pedestal. According to the idea of the author, the architect Vratislav Karel Novak, the movement of the metronome 24 meters high above Prague should have emphasized the inexorable pace of time. The length of the rod was 20 meters. According to the original plan, at the end of the exhibition the metronome was supposed to be dismantled, but then the city authorities decided to leave the landmark.
