The exhibition is continuing along its route through Europe. After its sojourn in France, in Toulouse, Paris and Lyon, it has now moved on to the Czech Republic, where it will be shown from 20 June until 1 September in the Galerie Jaroslava Fragnera in Prague, as part of thereSITE Urban Festival and with the title “In Favour of Public Space”. The gallery, property of theCzech Architecture Foundation, has always specialised in exhibitions of architecture and the applied arts. Indeed, it is one of the very few exhibition venues in the entire Czech Republic that has steadily focused on architecture, in both its historical and contemporary aspects. It was opened in the 1950s in the Bethlehem Chapel, a beautiful fourteenth-century building in the Old City, just over three hundred metres from the famous Charles Bridge.
