About this Stone
This 75-foot-tall kinetic sculpture stands in Letná Park, a striking functional metronome that has commanded the hillside since 1991. It occupies the plinth left behind after the 1962 demolition of a colossal Stalin monument — a poignant marker of history’s turning points. From up here, the views sweep across the Vltava River and the city center below. The area has become beloved by skateboarders and casual visitors alike, drawn to both the sculpture’s mesmerizing swing and the prospect of the panorama. The penguin stone waits somewhere in the trees nearby, placed by chance when it tumbled into a perfect hiding spot during the search for the ideal location. It’s a spot worth the waddle up, whether you’re chasing the stone or simply absorbing the view.
