Join us in recalling the appearance of old Prague, whose genius loci vanished due to the new sanitary requirements of the 19th century. At the Old Town Square, we will show you the imaginary boundary of the Jewish ghetto and immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of winding alleys and cramped balconies. We will return to the times of the struggle to save the unique historical buildings and imagine the personalities who bravely, albeit unsuccessfully, defended this unique cultural heritage. We will reveal where the Maisel Synagogue had its entrance, where the New and Great Synagogue stood, and where the Baševi Palace was located.
How about supporting Jiří "BJP" Procházka before his fight while also doing something for yourself? The Czech brand Švihej is launching a community challenge called Fightweek BJP, which will connect movement and MMA fans from November 15 to 21, 2026. Together, they will try to collect five million jumps with a skipping rope, symbolically providing energy to the Czech fighter before his match in Doha, Qatar. Anyone can participate for free, from anywhere, regardless of experience, either individually or in teams of up to five people. The weekly challenge will conclude with a gathering in Prague.
For the first time, the public will see the exceptional gift that the gallery received from Marie Christine Sekal, the widow of the prominent Czech sculptor, painter, and translator Zbyněk Sekal.
Christmas has a special ability to transform even the most ordinary moments into something we look forward to all year.

However, amidst shopping, baking, and endless to-do lists, we sometimes forget the most important thing – to enjoy the preparations themselves. This year, try it a little differently. You don’t need a perfectly coordinated Christmas tree or twelve types of cookies. Just a few ideas that will bring joy to you and others. And perhaps the simplest ones will ultimately create the best Christmas atmosphere.
