Křižíkova fontána, Musical fountain in Prague Exhibition Grounds, Czech Republic.
Křižíkova fontána is a large water fountain on Prague's Exhibition Grounds featuring thousands of water jets and colored lights. The system coordinates water movements, music, and illumination into synchronized visual sequences.
František Křižík designed this fountain for Prague's General Exhibition in 1891 as a technical innovation. The original installation used arc lamps beneath a glass dome, which was impressive engineering for its time.
The fountain stages performances with works by Dvořák, Smetana, and Vivaldi as well as ballet adaptations like Swan Lake. Visitors witness how music and water choreography combine to create a shared emotional experience.
The fountain offers evening performances during summer months at various times. Visitors should arrive early to secure good viewing spots and wear appropriate clothing for weather conditions.
The fountain operates through computer-controlled software that individually programs each performance. This digital precision allows water, light, and music to synchronize seamlessly.
