The Prague City Museum is once again bridging tradition with contemporary audiovisual art -this time by recalling the nearly forgotten craft of timber rafting. In cooperation with the Lunchmeat collective, it has created a light and sound installation on an authentic wooden raft on the Vltava River.
The installation, which can be seen on a floating wooden raft near Výtoň Bridge below Vyšehrad, pays tribute to rafting as a UNESCO-listed cultural heritage craft and is inspired by Bedřich Smetana’s iconic symphonic poem Vltava, which is celebrating the 150th anniversary of its premiere this year.
