Poetry jukebox in Park Folimanka, Audio poetry installation in Park Folimanka, Vinohrady, Czech Republic.

The Poetry Jukebox in Park Folimanka, called Dětský Poesiomátek, stands in the western part of the park by the children's playground, near the fountain with the sculpture "Tři". It is the first children's poetry jukebox, put into service on 17 August 2022, and plays Czech fairy tales and songs by Zdeněk Svěrák and Jaroslav Uhlíř.

This installation is part of a network of poetry devices that began in Prague in 2015 as an urban revival initiative. The project was started by artist Ondřej Kobza to bring poetry into public spaces and make literature accessible to everyone.

The jukebox is the first children's poesiomat, launched on 17 August 2022. Its repertoire consists of well-known Czech fairy tales and songs by Zdeněk Svěrák and Jaroslav Uhlíř. Most of the fairy tales were written and narrated by artists tied to Prague 2, among them Jaroslav Foglar, Jan Karafiát, Josef Lada, Božena Němcová, J. V. Sládek and Josef Somr.

Visitors simply press a button to select and listen to a poem through the speaker system. The installation is built to withstand outdoor weather and works reliably in most conditions.
