Umělecká zahrada, Artistic garden in Nusle, Czech Republic.

Umělecká zahrada is a former sculpture workshop and studio founded by Karel Novák in 1924, set in a narrow strip between Čiklova Street and the Prague–Plzeň railway line under the southern part of Nusle Bridge. The site holds a large north-lit studio and several technical workshops, now partly adapted as a lapidarium for damaged and surviving sculptural artefacts.

In 1924 sculptor Karel Novák bought land at the foot of the southern slope of the Nusle valley from the Vyšehrad chapter and built a sculpture workshop there, with a large north-lit studio and several technical workshops. He used a pantograph to scale up or down models of monumental figures. After nationalisation the site passed in 1957 to Krátký film Praha, which made children's films there; construction of the Nusle Bridge damaged or buried many sculptures. The Novák family sold the property after restitution in the 1990s.

The site is named Umělecká zahrada, "art garden", for the sculptures gathered here after the restitution of the 1990s, when Karel Novák's family sold the property and the new owner assembled damaged and intact pieces found on the grounds into a lapidarium. An exhibition, "První sběr", opened in September and October 2023 to present these surviving works.

The site lies in a narrow strip between Čiklova street and the Prague–Plzeň railway line, under the southern part of the Nusle Bridge. The Nusle valley side connects via a pedestrian underpass beneath the tracks in Svatoplukova street, and a public entrance was built from Křesomyslova street under the bridge behind the Ladislav Hanus School. The permanent exhibition opened with a vernissage on Friday 17 May 2024 and was open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10 to 16 until 31 October 2024.

After nationalisation the grounds passed in 1957 to Krátký film Praha, which made children's films there, not animation. During construction of the Nusle Bridge the site was used by a building firm; sculptures were damaged, some buried or caught in the bridge foundations.
