Around the World: The boy with the golden penis

in art •  7 years ago 

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, I am sure although I do not know everyone. Prague Castle is one of the main attractions. Who, like me, did not search for a guide who dictates his steps through the place, maybe was taken by surprise to see the statue that I named the boy with the golden penis. Beyond the joke of the guides who tell the tourists to touch the penis because it will bring luck, I was interested to know the history behind this sculpture, which is right in the entrance to the Museum of toys, children's favorite site. I struggled to find information but finally managed to have some simple data: the artist Miloš Zet did it in 1962 under the title of "Mládí" (Youth), representing "the hope of the country." At least, curious.
