Tourist attraction
Žižkov Television Tower
Mahlerovy sady 1, 130 00 Praha 3-Žižkov
Rocket-shaped broadcast tower crawling with giant, faceless baby sculptures on its exterior.
This guide to the Žižkov Television Tower in Prague opens with the ten faceless, barcode-branded baby sculptures artist David Černý installed here in 2000, then turns to the communist-era broadcast tower itself, built between 1985 and 1992 on a site once known as Mahler's Orchards. It follows what construction crews struck when they dug in, and how the Jewish community's objections were met. Look up at the babies first, then think about what is under your feet.
