Ohryzek Járy Cimrmana, Memorial dedicated to Jára Cimrman at Faculty of Science, České Budějovice, Czech Republic.
The Ohryzek Járy Cimrmana is a memorial consisting of a bronze apple core mounted on a granite pedestal. Sculptor Michal Trpák created the work at actual size and placed it in the public garden of the Faculty of Science.
The memorial was officially unveiled on November 17, 2014. This date coincided with the start of an annual hiking route organized by the faculty to Kleť mountain.
The memorial honors Járy Cimrman, a fictional character created by Czech playwrights Zdeněk Svěrák and Ladislav Smoljak. This invented figure has become widely recognized in Czech culture and popular imagination.
The memorial is located in the public garden of the Faculty of Science on Branišovská Street in České Budějovice. It is easily accessible by public transportation and can be visited anytime without restrictions.
The inscription on the memorial states that Cimrman left an apple core at this location while explaining the principles of ecological composting. This playful inscription merges the fictional scholar's cleverness with the site's environmental concern.
