Cloaked Statue in Prague near the Mozart Theatre (The Estates Theatre Stavovské divadlo)
The first time I walked past this statue it didn’t even occur to me that it was, in fact, a statue. I think my mind was so used to seeing poor homeless people on the streets that I just passed it without a second glimpse. However, the second time I walked past I noticed a large group of tourists huddled around it taking pictures. Created by Czech-born, Austrian-raised artist Anna Chromy the spooky statue with a hollow inside sits outside the Estates Theater, where W.A. Mozart conducted the 1787 premiere of his opera Don Giovanni. Local legend says that if you take a picture of it with a flash, an image of a face appears in the photo despite there being no facial features of any kind on the statue….freaky!
