No big updates. Today, I went to the Museum of Decorative Arts (chock full of glass, ceramics, ornaments etc., it sounds more boring than it actually was), where there was 'A Beastly Show': a selection of animal-inspired work from two Czech artists. It seemed childish but turned out to be pretty cool, with works ranging from photographs and lino-cuts of animals to lobsters and fish made out of plastic bottles (which were quite impressive). One
of the artist
s, Michal Cihlář, makes nice lino-cuts and does all the 'merch' and advertisement for the Praha Zoo. There were two walls filled with his images of animals.Tomorrow I'll try to go and visit Terezín (also known as Theresienstadt), a town not far from Prague where the Nazi's built a concentration camp in 1941 (or a transit camp actually, since most of the people where eventually send to Auschwitz).
