A line of yellow penguins and a group of giant, faceless crawling babies marks the site of Museum Kampa, a modern art gallery on Prague’s leafy Kampa Island. The giant babies – by Czech sculptor David Černý – and the surreal penguins,which glow brightly at night, are a popular photo opportunity. Inside is an impressive collection of 20th-century central European art. Opened in 2003, the collection is the work of art patrons Jan and Meda Mládek, whose curation is bright and public-facing: Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol and Julian Opie are among the artists who have had temporary exhibitions here.
