A six-foot steel meteorite Italian artist Riccardo Cordero in Baar Park, seven-meter question mark on the Vltava River Japanese maker Junichiro Ishii, playful feet of water Kurt Gebauer placed in Vojanovy orchards and majestic bronze horses Michal Gabriel's "galloping" after the piazza of the National Theatre - it is a mere fraction of the stops this year's Prague "sculptural lines."

Now some of last year's sculptures, which are in their seats squatted in the long term, will form a specific part of the route. Such include the chair from designer Alexandra Koláčková, which won both residents and council Dolni Brezany, a giant shark fin in Futurama Business Park or the original bench, which now offers visitors a relaxing Hospital Bulovka.
