5 Hottest Exhibitions of the Season
Looking for something more stimulating than a typical coffee date? Dive into the vibrant art scene with these five must-see exhibitions that go beyond the usual offerings at the National Museum.
1. Kunsthalle Praha – The Unsettled Soul
Klárov 5, Malá Strana 118 00, Praha 1
You might have seen Chiharu Shiota's mesmerizing thread installations on Instagram, but the exhibition The Unsettled Soul goes far beyond its visual appeal. It delves into profound themes we often shy away from—life, death, purpose, and meaning—leaving you to reflect on your own experiences. One of the standout pieces is inspired by the Vltava River, adding a local touch to this thought-provoking display. Catch it at Kunsthalle Praha until April 28th.
