One of the most popular spots for both children and adults. From the outside, the building near the observation tower looks like a small castle, but inside it’s not a labyrinth of secret stone corridors—it’s a maze of mirrors. First, you’ll wander through a three-dimensional depiction of the battle between the people of Prague and the Swedes on Charles Bridge in 1648, and then, in the Hall of Laughter, your reflection in the convex and distorted mirrors will transform you into dwarves, hunchbacks, or tall, lanky figures.

Hidden, unique, romantic—that is how the garden of Šternberk Palace is often described. It offers a view of the palace’s most beautiful architectural features, provides a glimpse into the Deer Moat, and presents a rare opportunity for contemplation beneath majestic trees. Yet the garden’s tranquility is only apparent. Is the athletic Odysseus not attacking the woman playing with a dolphin? Is the girl cautiously making her way toward the pond not in danger? Probably not. The stork continues to intently watch the fish in the water, undisturbed. Let’s explore together the possible interactions between the figures cast in bronze and stone in this magical garden. An exclusive selection of 20th-century Czech sculpture offers us this opportunity. We will walk past sculptures by Jan Štursa, Jan Lauda, and Hana Wichterlová. Lecture by Jitka Handlová.
