Our first stop on the tourist trail was an old favorite, the Museum of Cubism.

Czech cubism was born in Prague around 1910 when a group of artists began applying the cubist principles of Braque and Picasso to architecture and furniture design as well as painting and sculpture. The building that houses the museum is one of the few architectural designs to have been realized.

I get a kick out of this stuff.



The geometry of the pieces draws on the structure of crystals. To emphasize this, the exhibit includes some examples.

This one reminds me of Lisa Simpson. Go figure.
After viewing the exhibits we had some lunch at the cafe.


I wasn’t familiar with cubist furniture. Very cool. Maybe it is constructed by putting square pegs in round holes.
