Prague – Trade Fair Palace

We piled into the motor coach. As mentioned, those drivers navigate the narrow streets and parked cars impressively.

The building itself is a monument to Modern Architecture and was built in the 1920s. Until the 1950s trade fairs were held here, hence the name Trade Fair Palace. The building was then transformed into an administrative center until a 1974 fire destroyed the interior.

A testament to the amazing Czechs, reconstruction made it possible to open the National Gallery in 1995. The gallery concentrates on Czech modern and contemporary art.

Little architectural detail, the way they made stairs wheelchair accessible.

While there were a lot of beautiful, impressive pieces, I related to, and totally enjoyed this painting by Kupka, aptly named: “The Joy’s of Life”.

Sure sums it up for me.

This sculpture made me think of all the creative ways I could repurpose the reams of baling twine twisting around my barn.
