Look in on the Peeing Characters Sculpture, one of Prague's quirkiest public artworks by David Černý. Watch the two mechanical figures at work and take your photo before moving on to nearby Malá Strana sights.

📖

Full description

This offbeat work by artist David Černý stands near the Kafka Museum in Malá Strana and features two bronze figures facing each other, their mechanical pelvises moving as they urinate into a basin. It is provocative and absurd by design, and reviewers describe it as a popular photo spot that stops passersby in their tracks.

It sits close to Prague's narrowest lane, so it fits neatly into a Malá Strana walk. The stop takes around 15 minutes, is free and is open at all hours, which makes it easy to slot in whenever you pass.

Reviews

David Černý’s Peeing Characters sculpture is exactly the kind of bizarre idea that probably shouldn’t work, yet somehow becomes unforgettable. It’s provocative, absurd, and clearly designed to make people stop and react. Prague has a talent for embracing weird public art instead of hiding it, and this sculpture fits…
