Thanks for the post, it was an intriguing read!

I feel split about the decision by Prazka Sluzba to just paint over the art collected throughout the years – on the one hand, it’s sometimes necessary to say What’s over is over! and start fresh. But we must never forget history and by just painting over the art they forced their view and their will on all of the participating artists and the people appreciating the art. That reminds me too much of communism…

Thanks for sharing the story with us!

I love the story of how it started with John Lennon and how it has evolved throughout time. And although the words that started it all are not there its message is still beautiful. Would love to go visit and see it for myself.

It was even my first post-Communism destination in East Europe in 1990 (ridiculously cheap and totally different from today). However, I never made it to the John Lennon Wall. I really enjoyed reading your article and what happened to the wall over the years.
