Výstaviště Praha

Výstaviště Praha is an exhibition complex spanning multiple structures with glass and steel construction and a 51-meter clock tower as its landmark. The site houses the National Museum's Lapidarium and displays the largest fresco in the Czech Republic, depicting the Battle of Lipany.

The complex was founded in 1891 to host the Centennial Exhibition of the lands, with the Industrial Palace designed by Bedřích Münzberger at its center. Over time it became a permanent venue for major exhibitions and public gatherings in Czech culture.

The complex houses the Lapidarium of the National Museum, where visitors encounter stone sculptures and carved fragments from different periods of Czech history. Walking through it reveals how architectural decoration and stonework were valued across centuries.

The complex is located near Nadraží Holešovice metro station and is easily accessible by public transport. It works best to visit during scheduled exhibitions or events, as the site's activity and openness vary significantly depending on what is happening that season.

The Křižík Light Fountain operates as an automated water show with over 2 kilometers of pipes and 3000 water jets synchronized to music. This fountain system uses techniques dating to the early 1900s and has captivated audiences for generations.
