Veletržní palác
The Czech National Gallery branch covering modern art movements. Permanent exhibitions cover art from 1796 to 1938, with an obvious bias towards art from what is now Czechia, but also with a particularly significant French collection. The gallery occupies the old trade fair building constructed in the 1920s, in itself a significant example of Functionalist architecture.
A huge monument erected to replace the Stalinist monument that preceded it.
Exhibition ground used for exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events.
Letenské sady
The Letná Park is on a high plateau just north of and above the city centere. Therefore, it was the place where the massive Stalin's Monument, overlooking the city, was unveiled in 1955. It was the world's largest representation of Stalin, featuring the Soviet leader in front of a line of workers; it was nicknamed "Fronta na maso" or "Meat Queue" by locals, as this was a time when such queues were a daily part of life in the city. In the 1962, the monument was demolished and the place was vacant till the end of the communist era. After the Velvet Revolution, a giant, functional Prague Metronome was built on the spot.
Stromovka (place of trees) Park is the largest of its kind in the city of Prague. The history of Stromovka dates back to 1268, when Premysl Otakar II used Stromovka as the royal hunting grounds. The park was open to the public in 1804, after Czech nobles saved the grounds from complete demolishment from the reign of Maria Theresa who ordered everything cut and burned. The park is no longer full of deer to hunt; the park now features paths for inline skating, romantic ponds, large meadows, a few cafes, and even horse stables. Stromovka is the perfect place to take a Sunday afternoon stroll with your family and friends.
