very difficult to find. not sure if it was marked in a slightly off location in maps but i walked around several other arcades before nearly giving up and just going home. the statue was a lot bigger than i thought it would be but this statue really is tucked away in the middle of nowhere as many of the arcades surrounding it don’t seem like they are very active… worth seeing if you can find it

A must see in your visit to Prague. Created by Prague-born artist David Černý, whose claim to fame was the painting a Soviet tank pink as a memorial to the Velvet Revolution, he’s also known for his unsettling large scale installation piece of babies crawling their way up the Prague television tower, among other works of modern surrealism. The sculpture is a mocking reference to the more famous equestrian statue of King (and later, Saint) Wenceslas that sits in Wenceslas Square

It's cool. I waited 10 minutes for the guys standing under it to move, but it didn't happen. You never know what kinds of cool things you'll see when you journey down 1 of Pragues many passages

The statue is located in a vintage Style shopping mall that is definitely a great place to check out. It feels like that the time standas still. Another good point is that the mall is not touristic at all. I guess it still counts as a hidden secret. So enjoy it before it's too late ;)

  • Tom Urbain

An interesting piece of art that you would not expect to find in the Lucerna Palace. It is a mocking tribute to the past and modern leadership of Prague created by David Černy. I walked upon this statue by accident and it got me wondering what it was about !

  • Rashmi Chauhan

Fantastic one Another creation by David Cerny the Statue of King Wenceslas Riding an Upside-Down Dead Horse. This is really hidden in Lucerna Passage right in the middle of Wenceslas Square. …

  • Aisha Anime

Probably one of the most note worthy statues, near the typical statue on the upright horse. Riding the dead horse had some symbolic meaning in the famous Kino area. Definitely worth checking out!

  • Boglárka Egyed

A fun thing to see and take a cool picture of. It's one of the sights in Prague that's still not overcrowded and it takes only a couple of minutes to visit if you are around.

  • Olajide Ishola

This work of art is hidden in the shopping centre, Palac Lucerna. While I find the sculpture intriguing, I felt like reaching it and have a feel of what it is made of …

We were just taking shortcut on very hot day while browsing Central Prague when we stumbled upon magnificent sculpture that worth standing in a gallery. Amazing

  • Kacper Borowiecki

Love it, especially with the shopping mall around it. It's weird this place is so unknown, even local people did not know what I am talking about.
