Ohryzek Járy Cimrmana, Memorial dedicated to Jára Cimrman at Faculty of Science, České Budějovice, Czech Republic.
The Ohryzek Járy Cimrmana is a bronze cast of a bitten apple core on a granite pedestal, made at life size by sculptor Michal Trpák. It stands in the garden of the Faculty of Science of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
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 garden also holds a living memorial: a bramble named Rubus jarae-cimrmanii, described by botanists Martin and Petr Lepší with Bob Trávníček and Vojtěch Žíla. The species appears in the Red Book of the flora of southern Bohemia.
