The artworks have been provided by the Czech National Gallery, with some provided by the artists directly, and are made out of a variety of materials such as metal, wood, glass or plastic.

“This exhibition is special because it allows touching the originals of sculptors’ pieces which is unusual in galleries,” curator Jana Klimova said.

“Everywhere there are signs ‘Please don’t touch’ and the motto of this exhibition is just the opposite – ‘Touch, please’.”
